Ascension Theatre Productions is preparing for “Beauty and the Beast,” open tonight, Friday, at the Old Cannery Furniture Warehouse in Sumner.

This is the third show from the Sumner-based theater group.

This musical rendering of the classic Grimm Fairy Tale will delight the entire family. See all the characters you remember and love — and meet some new ones. Will they make it safely in and out of the enchanted forest? Will the Beast get his kiss? Will Beauty find her rich and handsome prince? Will Father and Mother survive Paris? And will Sam the dog ever get a rest?  Ascension promises a night so filled with entertainment that you might have to see it twice!

Showtimes are set for 7 p.m. April 29 and May 6 and 6 p.m. April 30 and May 7 with a special matinee show at 2 p.m. May 8. Mothers will receive a free gift during the Sunday performance in honor of Mother’s Day.

Tickets are $10-$15 with discounts for seniors, members of the military and students. Children under 5 free.
