Thoroughly Modern Millie  (Sep. 21-23, 2007)

Our 5th Production

Our Fall 2007 production was Thoroughly Modern Millie. Performance dates were Sep. 21-23, at the Mason High School and Community Center Theater (6100 Mason-Montgomery Rd., Mason, Ohio 45040). ​

​Thoroughly Modern Millie is a high-spirited musical romp, taking place in New York City in 1922. It 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. The cast of characters is filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men and a dragon-lady of a villainess audiences will love to hate.
