Beauty and the Beast

Umbrella Children’s Theatre is thrilled to present Beauty and the Beast adapted by Rebecca

Morgan and Katie Orr-Thomas, with original music by Melange. Our student actors range in age

from 5 to 15 years old.

A self-centered, lonely prince is turned into a beast by a magic fairy so that he can learn his

lesson before becoming King. Beauty and her younger sisters Prissy and Fluffy lose their family

fortune when their father’s ships are looted by pirates. When father is lost in a storm and

stumbles upon a mysterious castle with invisible servants, he risks everything by plucking a

single rose to bring home to his Beauty.

When Beauty and the Beast find each other, they must see beyond appearances to discover the

goodness within if they are to live happily ever after…

UCT was founded in 1988 as Southwest Children’s Theatre Productions by Rebecca Morgan

and Celeste Allerton. For 37 years, the company has equipped thousands of Northern New

Mexico youth with skills that serve them as performing artists and human beings today, and

prepare them for challenges faced tomorrow. With your ongoing generous support, we are able

to offer our 2025 season tuition free.
