Secondly, Alexandria Country Day School’s first through fifth grade drama students will present Disney’s Sleeping Beauty on December 6th and 7th at the LSUA MPAC Black Box Theater.  Performances are set for Friday at 7:00pm and Saturday at 11:00am, 3:00pm, and 7:00pm.  “We have so many talented students in the lower grades that I have decided to give them their very own production!”  beams Miller.  Based on the classic 1959 Disney film, this production of Sleeping Beauty features the familiar music and lyrics by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.  Admission is $10.00, and advance purchase is suggested.
