This is the classic tale of Belle,a kind-hearted young woman who finds herself imprisoned in a castle by a fearsome Beast. Belle discovers the Beast's gentle soul hidden beneath his exterior. Together they navigate challenges all around them, find true love and break a curse that has transformed the beast. Presented by Springfield Dance Theatre, Beauty and the Beast is perfect family entertainment. The Springfield Dance Theatre, which has more than 35 years of experience in choreography and production, brings characters to life. The group features children ages 5 and up in many different dance styles, including ballet. Guests welcome a half-hour before each show for photos, crafts and games in the Legacy Lounge. $20.
