The Carousel Performing Arts Center of Kennett Square, PA is proud to present its full length musical production of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast, Jr.” on June 6th and 7th at Kennett High School. Bringing this tale as old as time to life are over 50 talented students from the Avon Grove, Kennett, Red Clay and Unionville-Chadds Ford School Districts. Share in the magic at two fabulous performances on Friday, June 6th at 7pm and Saturday, June 8th at 3pm. A gem in the heart of Chester County, Carousel Performing Arts Center has been building confidence in children and young adults through the arts for over ten years. At a time when arts funding is one of the first line items to be cut in school districts, Carousel provides children with a positive outlet for creativity and self expression. Carousel offers classes in dance, voice and acting during the school year as well as summer camps. Carousel also offers unique opportunities for children in the local community to participate in its musical theater productions. As the Director of Carousel Performing Arts Center since 2005, Cathy Quigley has impacted the lives of hundreds of children and young adults by fostering not only their artistic abilities, but also their self-confidence and communication skills through the arts. Cathy is also the critically acclaimed writer/choreographer/director of “Female Trouble,” an original production about women’s health issues performed at the Million Woman March, Philly Fringe Festival, colleges and universities.
