About the Creative Theater Workshop:

Welcome to the Creative Theater Workshop. This non-profit program was started in the spring of 2006 by Michelle Messina-Hamstra, and since then it has grown to be one of the most successful theater companies in Southwest Florida. Through CTW, young talented artists not only gain the experience of performing a full length musical, but also gain new knowledge through weekly workshops taught by CTW staff and outside members of the community. Previous workshops have included mime, Fosse style dance, stage combat, theater tech, and audition techniques.

COMING IN NOVEMBER 2009

Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Tim Rice
Book by Linda Woolverton

This musical retelling of the “Beauty and the Beast” fairy tale was Disney’s first Broadway show and recreated the magical world of the animated film in a live theatrical production. Belle offers herself as a prisoner to the Beast to save her father, and learns that people are not always what they appear to be. A delight for all ages.

November 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 at the Alliance for the Arts
