Experience the Magic: Beauty and the Beast at Our Youth Theater

Dive into a world of enchantment with our youth theater's production of "Beauty and the Beast." This beloved tale of love and acceptance comes to life on stage, showcasing the incredible talents of local young performers. Witness the transformation of the Beast, a prince cursed by an enchantress, as he learns the true meaning of love to break the spell before time runs out.

Directed by professionals dedicated to nurturing young talent, our production features stunning costumes, elaborate sets, and breathtaking choreography that vividly bring the characters of Belle and the Beast to life. The classic score, composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, includes unforgettable songs like "Beauty and the Beast," "Belle," and "Be Our Guest," all performed by a vibrant young cast.

Join us at Oakland Center's Kids First Theater in Warren, Ohio for this magical journey. Our theater is committed to accessibility and inclusion, ensuring a delightful experience for all guests. This limited-run show offers special opportunities such as meet-and-greets with the cast, photo ops, and behind-the-scenes tours.

Don't miss this chance to support young talent and enjoy a show that combines entertainment with educational values. "Beauty and the Beast" at our youth theater isn't just a performance—it's an unforgettable experience that celebrates the power of love and transformation.

Experience Oakland Adults Dinner Theater:

Not for the kiddies, folks!

'Disenchanted!' had its first workshop in 2009 at Pearl Studios in NYC. Over 700 women auditioned for 11 roles and the 1-night-only event (in which songs from the show were performed without script) played to a sold-out house, a standing ovation and was immediately extended. The journey to Off-Broadway began!​

In 2012, 'Disenchanted!' had its first Off-Broadway reading at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Playwrights Horizons in NYC. The songs from the show were also featured in a showcase at Don't Tell Mama Cabaret Theatre on Restaurant Row that summer.​
