Ripon Middle School proudly present, "Beauty and the Beast (Jr)," April 10-12 in the Ripon High School Auditorium.

Beauty and the Beast JR. tells the story of Belle, an adventurous young girl, and the Beast, her hideous captor who is actually a young prince trapped under a spell. In order to break the spell, the Beast must learn to love another and earn her love in return – before time runs out.  With the help of the castle’s enchanted staff, including a loving teapot, a charming candelabra, and a nervous mantel clock, Belle and the Beast find a beautiful friendship and love that neither knew was possible. Beauty and the Beast JR. features classic songs from the Academy Award®-winning film score such as “Be Our Guest” and “Belle,” as well as original songs from the 1994 Tony®-nominated Broadway musical.

Performances are Thursday, April 10 and Friday, April 11 at 7pm, and Saturday, April 12 at 2pm. Doors open 30 minutes before each performance starts. The performances will be in the Ripon High School Auditorium, 850 Tiger Drive.
