The Yardley Players present the beloved Disney musical "Beauty and the Beast" at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) Kelsey Theatre. With show-stopping musical numbers and a colorful cast of characters, "Beauty and the Beast" is the story of Belle, a bright young woman trapped in a small, provincial town. When her father, Maurice, gets lost in the woods, Belle goes after him. Arriving at a secluded castle, she discovers that a beast has imprisoned Maurice, and she bravely trades her freedom for her father's. Gradually, Belle comes to realize that the Beast is trapped, just like she is. Will Belle’s sympathy turn to love? And, is that love strong enough to save them both?
