The Lofte Community Theatre Presents Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Special Events

Royal Tea

Every Saturday characters from our production of Disney's “Beauty and the Beast,” will host a tea party event (tea or lemonade) in our Lofte outdoor pavilion before the show. Join them for this exclusive meet and greet!

Tickets to this special pre-show event are $10 each and include:

A special plate of goodies (i.e baked goods or pastries)
A real teacup to drink out of that you can take home
An “enchanted” light-up rose
Photo Ops with favorite characters
Access to a private event to hang out with character performers before the show!

All are welcome to attend regardless of age or gender- anyone can attend the Royal Tea! To attend the show and the event, patrons must purchase tickets for both. Please be aware that tickets for the Royal Tea are for this special event only while "Beauty and the Beast," is part of the regular Lofte season shows.

This event is open to all ages but children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Adults accompanying someone 12 or under are not required to purchase a ticket if they are not interested in receiving all that comes included with a ticket (see above.)

The event will start at 5:45 PM and go 20-30 minutes before the 7:00 pm show every Saturday on July 20th, July 27th, and August 3rd

*Before each show members from the cast will be available to sell light-up roses in the house and outdoor pavilion

All are welcome to attend

Tales as Old as Time Book Sale

In Disney's “Beauty and the Beast,” Belle has a love of books and stories, and even more than that, she shares that love with those around her.

To honor this part of the story, books will be available for sale at our "Tales as Old as Time" book cart before every performance.

No set prices- the Lofte asks for a donation in exchange for one of the books that we have available! We hope you'll come and visit our bookseller in the outdoor pavilion who will be there for every performance starting one hour before the show starts. Patrons can even ask performers from the show to sign their books!
