Theatre at Bridgewater College will present Glassheart by Reina Hardy Feb. 14-17 in Cole Hall on the college’s campus. The show will begin at 8 p.m. each night.

In Hardy’s Glassheart, a contemporary reimagining of the classic tale Beauty and the Beast, Beauty never showed up.

After centuries under the curse, the Beast and his remaining magical servant move into a shabby Chicago apartment hoping for a lower cost of living and better luck with girls.

In the threatening, impossible, completely ordinary world of paying rent and taking public transportation, is a happy ending even possible?

Glassheart is a romantic tragicomedy about facing the witch in your head and finding the wish in your heart.

The production is open to the public.
