Athens Theatre: Beauty & the Beast


If you live in DeLand, you do not have to travel to Orlando to see a professional theater production. You just have to go downtown to the Athens Theatre!


Local Theater has been prominent in the DeLand community for countless years. Year after year, the whole community gets involved in Community Theater. From Craig Uppercue's Youth Theater to the Sands Theater professional productions, the people of DeLand have been there giving their  support by either being behind the scenes, on the stage, or in the audience as spectators there to cheer on their friends and family. In small town America, DeLand has proven to support the arts.


Many have been fully involved in the Dance & Fine Arts Preparatory Academy's spring production of Beauty & the Beast including one of our close friends at Personal Best Gym who has volunteered his precious time to be part of our production playing the role of Gaston. Butch McCowen, a former Mr. Florida, is playing the handsome villain who will do anything to get Belle's hand in marriage. Mr. McCowen has been a great sport learning all the dance steps required to be a part of our show. All of us at Dance & Fine Arts thank him for his support!
This is Dance & Fine Arts Preparatory Academy's first full theatre production as one of the up and coming dance schools in the local community. Performing an adaptation of Disney's animated film "Beauty & the Beast", this classic musical love story is filled with timeless music, memorable characters, and remarkable dancing. Come join us for an unforgettable weekend, June 16th & 17th, featuring dancers of all ages. *Athens DeLand*
Tickets are on sale now for our production of Beauty & the Beast and are selling quickly. Please visit the Athens website Athens DeLand to purchase your tickets. There is also a link on our website Dance & Fine Arts to buy tickets. Unfortunately, we will not be selling tickets at Dance & Fine Arts or at Personal Best Gym.

All of our dancers have worked very hard all spring to put on a spectacular performance. Now lets fill those seats to show our support!
