One of my favorite annual events is back and I almost missed it! The Children’s Theatre Association of San Francisco (CTSA) brings Beauty and the Beast to life for bay area children this month and next. CTSA is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers who dedicate their time to bring live performances to school age children. During the month of December, CTSA performs for school children, many who would not otherwise have the opportunity to see live theater. The funds raised from the Saturday paid performances in January and February are used to offset production costs.
- What: The Tale of the Beauty and the Beast performed by the Children’s Theatre Association of San Francisco.
- When: Saturdays at 10:30 am and 1:00 pm. The final performance will be on February 13th.
- Where: California Palace of the Legion of Honor
- Tickets: Tickets are $12.00 + $1.80 processing fee for online & telephone orders. Click here for more information about buying tickets.
This has been an annual tradition that I started with my children. The actresses are adult volunteers. Don’t be surprised- the program doesn’t have children in it! The volunteers make the costumes and the set. It is definitely “home grown” in a delightful way. The performance are always very sweet and tailored specifically for elementary aged children. I hope you enjoy it!
