Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy Award-winning motion picture, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is a fantastic adaptation of the story of transformation and tolerance. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

When are auditions/enrollment?

There are no auditions for the Barn KIDS production of Disney's Beauty And The Beast JR. Open enrollment will take place online on a first-come first-serve basis, with a limit of 35 student-actors. ONLINE ENROLLMENT IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO OPEN AT 12:01AM, Tuesday, February 14. Payment is due at the time of enrollment.

Is any experience necessary for my child to participate?

Disney's Beauty And The Beast JR is open to students of all abilities, from those with years on the stage, to those who are trying theatre for the first time. A fundamental component of the Barn KIDS program is bringing students from all levels of experience together so that they may learn from each other as well as staff members. We will work on acting, singing, and dancing skills during rehearsals, as well as learn valuable life skills such as collaboration and respect.

What is the age range accepted?

Students entering 3rd through 8th grades in the 2023-24 school year are eligible.

How much is tuition?

There is a $395 per student tuition that helps defray costs for production, royalties, and staffing.

How and when do we pay?

Tuition payment will be due at the time of enrollment, through the same secure system that the Barn Players uses for its box office (We use Eventbrite).

We will be gone on vacation for part of the time. Can my child still participate?

Missing one or two rehearsals is almost an inevitable part of theatre due to illness, family circumstances, and life in general. Missing more than two rehearsals, however, adds extra stress to the actor, and is unfair to other students who are working on the production. If you know that you will be unavailable for a significant portion of the rehearsal window, we ask that you respectfully allow that enrollment slot to be used by another student.

Who should I contact if I have further questions?
