'Sleeping Beauty' Benefit Show to Honor Milan Moosavizadeh

Each year, Winchester Cooperative Theater holds a special benefit performance with all proceeds going to a local charity. This year’s Benefit Show performance of  “Sleeping Beauty” will be in honor of , the local 16-year-old athlete who suffered cardiac arrest this past May while playing in a soccer tournament. 

, a group of parents, friends, coaches, teachers, and community members who are trying to help the Moosavizadeh family with Milan’s ongoing support needs, were delighted when they heard that Winchester Cooperative Theater had chosen The Milan Moosavizadeh Trust as this year’s recipient.

Shameem Moosavizadeh, Milan’s sister and a fifth grader at, is a member of the cast and plays the part of Christine, the caterer’s assistant.  This is the first year Shameem has participated in a Winchester Cooperative Theater production. 

The Sleeping Beauty Benefit Show to Honor Milan Moosavizadeh will be held on Tuesday, March 22 at 4 p.m. at .  As a special treat, audience members can come dressed as a Prince or Princess and take pictures with Sleeping Beauty and the cast after the show. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance by going to the site or at the door. It will be open seating so come early. 

Team Milan would like to pay special thanks to Cathy Alexander and the Winchester Cooperative Theater for their generous support.
