Disney classic comes to ACT’s stage
The Academy of Children’s Theatre is performing a musical production of “Freaky Friday” for two weekends, bringing to life the adventures a mother and daughter experience when they magically swap bodies and have just one day to put things right.

Performances are at 7 p.m. Feb. 21 and 29 and at 3 p.m. on Feb. 22, 23, 29 and March 1.
Based on Broadway’s Disney musical version of “Freaky Friday,” the cast features 34 youth actors and six adults. In the lead role as Ellie is Tayler Riley, who follows in the famous footsteps of Jodie Foster and Lindsey Lohan. Playing her mother Catherine is Ann Archer. Director is Josh Darby.
Tickets are $16 for general admission, $13 for students and seniors, and $10 for kids age 12 and younger. They’re available at www. academyofchildrenstheatre.org and at the door.
