'Sleeping Beauty' Coming to Perimeter Church

You won't be caught sleeping when the magical tale of "Sleeping Beauty" comes to Perimeter Church in Johns Creek this weekend.

The church's Academy of the Arts Ballet presents the classic tale of Princess Aurora, who is awakened by her prince after being cursed by the evil queen into a deep sleep. 

Performances are:

• Friday, March 8, 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday, March 9, 11 a.m.
• Sunday, March 10, 3 p.m.

Kristi Necessary Loveless, a school instructor, said in a press release, “My goal as a teacher is to use my knowledge and experiences to inspire a lifetime of arts appreciation and involvement.  This is especially true and most rewarding when I can channel my personal experiences toward getting the best out of the talented, dedicated dancers at Perimeter.” 

Loveless danced as Aurora as a member of the Atlanta Ballet Company in 2011. Perimeter's "Sleeping Beauty" case includes two guest dancers from the Atlanta Ballet.

A special “Sleeping Beauty” tea with the cast will follow the Saturday performance.
