Beauty and the Beast



A traditional fairytale with French origins from the 18th century, Disney's Beauty and the Beast is about a spoiled prince who makes an enchantress upset. To punish him, she casts a spell transforming him into a beast and his servants into household appliances. To break the curse, the beast must learn to love and be loved. Just beyond the woods, Belle struggles with her own burden of beauty and brains in her provincial hometown. On top of that, the village hunk targets her to be his bride.


Fifty people from the Kasson Public Library service area attended a full house of Rochester Civic Theater (RCT) musical production of Beauty and the Beast on Sunday, April 3rd at 2 pm. The children, parents and grandparents wholeheartedly enjoyed the musical and eagerly talked to each other about it. Also it was wonderful to see little girls dressed as princesses with their pretty dresses and some even had tiaras!


Last Fall Library Director Bonnie Adams obtained the Perfect Partners grant by forming a partnership with Rochester Civic Theater (RCT) and the Minnesota Library Legacy Grant program. The money offset the expense of patrons attending the three plays at Rochester Civic Theater during the 2010-2011 season. 115 K-M people attended one of the three plays and enjoyed the cultural experience that was the main goal of the grant


Minnesota Clean Water Legacy Act and Minnesota Library Legacy was voted and approved on by Minnesota voters in November, 2008.
