For two weekends in September, SOAR Regional Arts is presenting the Disney family classic musical Beauty & the Beast onstage at St. Michael Middle School West.

If you’re not already familiar, SOAR is a nonprofit arts program serving the communities of St. Michael, Otsego, Albertville, and Rogers, and they present several theatrical productions throughout the year.

SOAR invited me to enjoy a show during opening weekend with my 6-year-old daughter. Beauty & the Beast is one of my all-time favorite Disney stories, and I recently got to share the original film with my daughter for the first time, so it was such a treat for us to get to see the musical performed on stage.
