Teachers, our School Play version of Beauty and the Beast is just what you have been looking for!  Ideally suited for a flexible cast of young performers and simple staging, our fun-filled children's play will definitely be a successful production for you, your students and your school!

Set in the French countryside, this Large-Cast children's
play is the familiar story, Charles Perrault's classic:  Once upon a time there was a handsome Prince who lived in a beautiful castle.  Though he was rich and fortunate, he cared little for his people.  For his cruelty a spell is cast.  Until he is loved by a beautiful woman,he will remain a beast!


Take a Bow Productions, Children's Theatre Play, Chatham, Ontario

  With lots of fun, comedy and drama, this children's script is fast paced, exciting, and filled with easy innovative ideas to showcase your students talents! 


Simple, witty dialogue keeps the play moving quickly from Village to Castle.  All roles have names and personalities so that every child can be a significant part of the production.

Without songs, this script keeps it simple while delivering spectacular results.  The soundtrack (background sound effects) CD adds a professional touch!
