“Beauty and the Beast,” tells the tale of Belle (Evie Nicholas), a beautiful and intelligent young woman in a provincial French village. When her father, Maurice (Devin Hicks), is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast (Nathan Walker), a fearsome creature who was long ago transformed into his gruesome form by an enchantress (Madeline Wagner).

Upon hearing of Belle’s capture, Gaston (Jeffrey Stimson), the town’s most popular and strongest citizen, sets out to rescue her in the hopes of winning her hand in marriage. As Belle and the Beast become friends, Mrs. Potts (Sophia Tarnowski), Lumiere (Cameron Parks), Cogsworth (Jack Grossman), Chip (Brooklyn Chancey), Babett (Kayla Chamberlin), and Madame de la Grande Bouche (Gianna Curd), the enchanted items who reside in the castle, watch with the hope that the Beast will fall in love with Belle and that she will love him in return. The enchanted items know that is the only way to break the spell and return the Beast to his human form.

The Rod Bushey Performing Arts Center is located at 1200 W. Grand River Ave. on the north side of Howell High School.
