Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, an international sensation that has played to over 35 million people worldwide in 13 countries. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

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 into 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.

The South Vermillion Theatre Program is an extra-curricular high school program at South Vermillion High School. Though technically a "high school" program, we often invite students in grades 4 through 8 to audition to be a part of our productions, because we believe that theatre is a medium that transcends all ages. We also believe that theatre and the performing arts are of significant value in a student's education. Through involvement with the theatre, students are able to learn the value of critical feedback, comprehend the world through empathy, develop cognitive abilities, enhance communication with their peers, build self-confidence, and explore varying emotions in a safe, creative environment.

In its third season under the direction of Mrs. Jacqueline Roberts, the SV Theatre Program offers a scholarship to students  who have participated in the program and planning to continue their higher education in any of the Performing Arts fields. We believe in supporting our students as they strive to attain their dreams, and this scholarship is one small way we are able to do so.
