Taking place in New
York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just
moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It’s a New York
full of intrigue and jazz - a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing
forever.
Based on the popular movie, the stage version of Thoroughly Modern Millie includes a full score of new songs
and bright dance numbers. Filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men and a dragon-lady of a villainess audiences will
love to hate, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a perfectly constructed evening of madcap merriment.
Participants will have the opportunity to sing, dance, and
act in this exciting and very high energy production. Kids will be given a rehearsal
schedule and will only need to attend the rehearsals they are called for as the show is rehearsed scene by scene and they
will not be in every scene. More advanced acting technique will be taught this
summer, as this show is for older participants and is one of the most ambitious productions we have done in several years.
All participants should come to rehearsals on time prepared to work hard and
to have a great time. There are a ton of fantastic parts and I hope to see you
at auditions!
