Beauty and the Beast Community Theater

MUSIC BY: Alan Menkin
LYRICS BY: Howard Ashman & Tim Rice
BOOK BY: Linda Woolverton
DIRECTED BY: Cameron Harris

February 23-March 24, 2019

Step into the enchanted world of Broadway’s modern classic, which tells of Belle,
a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince
trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be
loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is
running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will
be doomed for all eternity.

Calendar Girls

WRITTEN BY: Tim Firth
DIRECTED BY: Candy Kane

April 27-May 12, 2019

When Annie’s husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to
raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to
persuade four friends to pose nude with them for an “alternative” calendar, with a
little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The calendar
is a success, but Chris and Annie’s friendship is put to the test under the strain of
their new-found fame. Based on a true story Calendar Girls is a hilarious must-see!
It is full of heart, tears, laughter, and love.

APRIL 13 Soles for Souls
8:00 a.m. -
3:00 p.m.

Rialto City Hall,
South Parking Lot
150 S. Palm Ave.

SPECIAL COLLECTION Winter / Spring 2019

Many children world-wide are unable to attend school just because they can’t afford shoes.
They either cannot walk the long distance without injuring their feet or they are ridiculed if
they do attend barefoot.
“Soles 4 Souls” is an organization that collects used shoes and distributes them to people in
need. They have helped underprivileged children in the Appalachia Mountains, families in
homeless shelters, and even victims of Southern California wildfires.
They also take mission trips delivering shoes to underdeveloped areas in Central and South
America, India, and Africa. In many of these areas, people scavenge in landfills to meet their
basic daily needs. Some may have to walk many miles daily just to get drinkable water for
their families. Imagine doing this with ill-fitting shoes or no shoes at all.
You can easily help…take the time to clean out your closet and donate those shoes that no
longer fit or you just don’t wear. The Rialto Solid Waste Management Office will be collecting
shoes on the next Community Clean-up Day for this worthwhile cause.

For more information on Soles 4 Souls, For more information on this collection,
check out their website at: call the City of Rialto
