Every year in early November, the Aspen Community Theatre puts on a show for their friends and neighbors at the Aspen District Theater and the valley turns out to see it. The Roaring Fork Valley's talented actors, singers, dancers and behind-the-scenes people give of their time all fall to prepare and the shows are always beautifully presented. This year's show, Beauty and the Beast, opens on Friday and runs for two consecutive weekends. The tuneful musical, based on the beloved film, played on Broadway for years and is filled with great characters, wonderful songs and plenty of dramatic action. Don't miss it!
