Katie Forsberg is Beauty and Rob Goodwin is the Beast in “Beauty and Her Beast,” performed Saturday at Treehouse Museum in Ogden.

Classic tale gets Treehouse twist

“Beauty and the Beast” may be a tale as old as time, but it’s never same old, same old when performed by Treehouse Troupe.

Treehouse Museum's acting company presents "Beauty and Her Beast," opening at 6 p.m. Saturday and running every Saturday through Jan. 29 in the museum's Castle Theater.

"It's familiar, but a little bit different," said Lynne Goodwin, museum director. "It's based on the French versions of the fairy tale, but given a Treehouse twist, of course."

Normally police sirens mean anything but Christmas cheer, Santa's coming or joyous anything. Hardly ever ho, ho, ho. But Christmas cheer it was Saturday in Weber and Davis counties as police officers took underprivileged kids shopping.
