Lights! Camera! Christmas!

Ada fourth and fifth grade music classes will perform "Lights! Camera! Christmas!" twice on Thursday, Dec. 4.

According to Lori Wilson director, "The kids decide it is time to make an amazing movie about the one and only Santa Claus, but what style of movie should we use?  How about an epic extravaganza like Cecil B. DeMille? Adventure film like Steven Spielberg?  A Spaghetti Western might be fun. How will we decide?"

Performances are at 1:15 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. in the Ada school auditorium. Doors open 30 minutes prior to each show.

The performances are free and open to the public.
