"Thoroughly Modern Millie" previews at Rotary to rave reviews!

Millie Dillmount (Brittany Redding) and Miss Dorothy Brown (Deidre Fears) came into Feb 12th Rotary meeting like the roaring 20's, and in costume, to present a preview of "Thoroughly Modern Millie," a musical production by the Van Buren High School Theater and Music Departments. Introduced by Tom Watkins, Van Buren School District Fine Arts Center Director, Redding and Fears provided a spirited rendition of one of the many songs from the Broadway musical which was greeted with smiles and applause from the Rotary audience. Watkins added that the entire cast and crew have been working hard at rehearsals in anticipation of the February 27 opening.

"If the rest of the performance is as good as the sample, it will be a delightful evening," offered one Rotarian after the meeting.

Performances will be on February 27 and 28 at 7:00 P.M. and on March 1 at 2:00 P.M. Tickets are $6.00 and may be purchased online at www.centerforfinearts.org or by calling 471-4017 between 9:00 and 11:00 A.M. Tickets will also be available at the door.
