Colchester Community Theatre presents Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST through an exclusive arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). Our audiences will be transported to the heart of provincial life in a lovely French town. When Maurice becomes lost in the woods on the way to the fair, he seeks shelter in an old castle, but the master of the castle is a horrible beast that takes him captive. Maruice's daughter, Belle, must then give up her freedom to save his life. Belle's taming of the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation back into a handsome prince enthralled Broadway audiences for over 13 years.

Performance dates are Friday, February 12 at 7:00 pm, Saturday, February 13 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm and Sunday, February 14 at 2:00 pm at Bacon Academy High School Auditorium, 611 Norwich Avenue in Colchester. Ticket prices are $10.00 for adults and $8.00 for seniors and children, age 12 and under. Tickets are available at Wild Geese Gift Shop, Tracy's Tunes, Plotkin's Jewelry, Colchester Parks & Recreation Department in the Town Hall or online at www.colchesterct.gov/parks. Tickets will also be available at the door on performance days. However, audience members are encouraged to purchase tickets ahead of time. 

In addition, CCT is selling light up roses to offset costs of the costume rentals. Roses can be purchased for $5 each at Wild Geese Gift Shop and at the performances until sold out. 

Colchester Community Theatre's Annual Membership is currently for the period 7/01/09 - 7/31/10. We are now accepting membership dues.

Annual membership will stay the same for $10 an individual or $20 for a family. Members are entitled to one complimentary ticket to our February production with individual membership and two complimentary tickets with family membership. Annual members, 18 years or older are entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of members. Annual members can be eligible to be elected to the Board of Directors as well.

Being a member helps support our organization. It is the vision of the current Board of Directors to be able to offer more "perks" to our membership, but we need a lot of support from you! Please consider becoming a dues paying member. All dues and renewal applications should be mailed to Colchester Community Theatre, 127 Norwich Avenue, Colchester, CT 06415 - Attn: Laura Brown.
