LifeHouse Theater brings to life the laughter, romance and suspense of “Beauty and the Beast.” This popular original musical of the French fairy tale follows the adventures of the Beauty, Rose, as she discovers true love and the soulful secrets deep in the heart of the Beast. Chester Drawers, Miss Bristle the dancing broom, Madam Buffet the singing stove and a castle of quirky enchanted objects add hilariously comic moments. At once witty, suspenseful and poignant, this award-winning musical enthralls audiences of all ages. “Beauty and the Beast” launches LifeHouse Theater’s 24th theatrical season.

Performances begin Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 7:30 PM and will continue on weekends through November 12, 2017. Performances are Fridays at 7:30 PM, Saturdays at 2:15 PM (except Opening Night) and 7:30 PM, and Sundays at 2:15 PM. In addition to the weekend performances, a special Throwback Thursday evening performance, with special pricing, will be offered on November 9 at 7:30 PM. The performance on Friday, October 20, at 7:30 PM will also feature an interpreted presentation for the deaf.

“Our dazzling rendition of this fun classic continues the high quality recently seen in our immensely popular ‘Phantom of the Opera,’” observes LifeHouse founder and president, Wayne Scott. “The relationship between Beauty and the Beast pulls at the heart strings while the fun characters that surround them tickles our audiences. It’s no wonder this is one of our most requested musicals.”

“We look forward to staging our dazzling rendition of this fun classic that always tickles our audiences,” observes LifeHouse founder and president, Wayne Scott. “And yet, the relationship between Beauty and the Beast pulls at the heart strings.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused. A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.
