Oak Lawn Community High School to Present Beauty and the Beast

Oak Lawn Community High School will continue its tradition of excellence this fall with its production of Beauty and the Beast.  Beauty and the Beast tells the story of a young prince, who is cursed by an enchantress because of the lack of love in his heart. He must find a girl who will love him in spite of his looks before the last petal of an enchanted rose falls. Director Billy Denton said, “As the song goes, this is a ‘tale as old as time.’  After seeing this show years ago, I knew it would be a staple of high school theater and I’m proud to be directing this production at OLCHS.  From the songs to the costumes to the special effects, it’s going to be a great show and I know the students can’t wait to show the community.” 

Performances will take place Thursday, October 25 through Saturday, October 27 at 7:00 p.m.  A special children’s matinee will also take place on Saturday, October 27 at 2:00 p.m. where children will have the opportunity to be a part of the show and get their picture taken and receive autographs with Belle, the Beast, and the other enchanted objects. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.  Tickets can be purchased through the ticket hotline at 708-424-5200 ext. 5920.
