at Shelton High School Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. -- July 23rd, 24th, 30th, and 31st Saturday matinee at 2:00 p.m. -- July 31st Our big Youth CONNection production will be Thoroughly Modern Millie – a high-spirited musical that took Broadway by storm, winning six Tony Awards including Best Musical in 2002. Set in 1922 in New York, it is the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It is 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, which starred Julie Andrews, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a show filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men and a dragon-lady of a villainess audiences love to hate. Join us at Shelton High School for a perfectly constructed evening of madcap merriment. ____________________________ Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. -- November 26th through December 18th Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. -- December 5th and December 12th Miracle on 34th Street is the classic family favorite that puts the spirit of Christmas on trial.
