Thoroughly Modern Millie is a 1967 American musical film directed by George Roy Hill. The screenplay by Richard Morris focuses on a naive young woman who finds herself in the midst of a series of madcap adventures when she sets her sights on marrying her wealthy boss.
The soundtrack interpolates new tunes by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn with standard songs from the 1910s and 1920s, including "Baby Face" and "Jazz Baby." For use of the latter, the producers had to acquire the rights from General Mills, which had used the melody with various lyrics to promote Wheaties for more than forty years.
The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and five Golden Globes. In 2000 it was adapted for a successful stage musical of the same name. A DVD was issued in 2003.

Theatre
Theatre is a branch of the performing arts. While any performance may be considered theatre, as a performing art, it focuses almost exclusively on live performers creating a self contained drama.[1] A performance qualifies as dramatic by creating a representational illusion.[2] By this broad definition, theatre had existed since the dawn of man, as a result of the human tendency for storytelling. Since its inception, theatre has come to take on many forms, utilizing speech, gesture, music, dance, and spectacle, combining the other performing arts, often as well as the visual arts, into a single artistic form.
The word derives from the Ancient Greek theatron meaning "the seeing place."[3]

This is of the most recent plays in the theater at the school.

Thoroughly Modern Millie” is a delightful glimpse into the 1920’s
and won multiple Tony awards including Best Musical in 2002.


The musical will be performed by the ever-talented
Truckee High School drama department three weekends in May.
“Thoroughly Modern Millie” is set early in the flapper era of the 1920s.



Millie Dillmount’s ambition is to find work as a stenographer for a
wealthy man and then marry her boss. In both intending to earn her own living and in intending to marry for money rather than love, she is “thoroughly modern”for the 1920s.

Drama
Drama (literally translated as action, from a verbal root meaning "To do") is the branch of theatre in which speech, either from written text (plays), or improvised is paramount. A companion word dran, also Greek, means to do.

Musical theatre is a form of theatre combining music, songs, dance routines, and spoken dialogue. Modern musical theatre emerged from the variety. Music theater includes espectacle as well.
Comedy
Theatre productions that use humour as a vehicle to tell a story qualify as comedies. Theatre expressing bleak, controversial or taboo subject matter in a deliberately humorous way is referred to as black comedy.
