Be Our Guest this Friday!


Sterling Playmakers proudly presents “Beauty and the Beast” – The Broadway Musical 

HIS Sign will be providing interpreting services THIS Friday, August 3rd at 7:30 PM
Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial French village. When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast. The only way for the Beast to become human once again is if he learns to love and be loved in return. But once a magical rose loses all of its petals, he will stay a Beast forever. The Beast’s enchanted household - populated by such beloved characters as Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip - watch anxiously as Belle and the Beast grow to understand and befriend one another. Their feelings grow ever deeper as the clock ticks and petals continue to fall off the enchanted rose--will they confess their love for one another before it is too late?

You may purchase tickets online at www.sterlingplaymakers.org or by calling 703-437-6117
