A BIG Weekend for Winterset High School!
Football Quarterfinal Game
TONIGHT • November 5 • 7:00pm
Winterset High School
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Saturday & Sunday • November 6th & 7th
Winterset High School, Henry C. Miller Auditorium
Over eighty-five WHS students have been working for the past several weeks to prepare their upcoming performances of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Because of the Football Game on Friday night, performances will now take place on Saturday at 2:00 and 7:00pm and Sunday at 2:00pm.
Set in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount from Kansas, who comes to New York in search of a new life for herself. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East, her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage and the man she actually falls in love with doesn’t have a dime to his name… or so he tells her.
Tickets are $8 and are available at the door.
