Lawrence Community Theatre’s fall offerings for children and families will focus on themes from “Beauty and the Beast.”

“School’s Out, Theatre’s In” starts Friday as first- through fifth-graders are invited to “Maurice’s Workshop” to experiment with inventions just like Belle’s inventor father, Maurice. The fee for this session is $26.

The theme will be “Masks and Magic” Oct. 27-28 as students work with costume and special effects materials. The fee is $47.

Sessions all three days run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and are sponsored by First State Bank and Trust.

Family Night will be Oct. 25, when parents and children can create their own costume pieces, sneak a peak at a rehearsal and get an inside view of some special effects for the show. This evening is sponsored by the KU Credit Union, and fees will be $22 per parent/child couple with $4 for each additional child.

Enrollment can be completed at the theater, 1501 N.H., or by phone at 843-7469. Some scholarship aid is available, and materials are provided through a grant from the Lawrence Arts Commission.
