The university’s theatre department invites the community to its fall musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Nov. 6-9 and Nov. 12-16 in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Performances take place at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6-8 and 12-15 and at 2 p.m. both Sundays, Nov. 9 and 16.

The play, directed by Teresa Thuman, is set in the early 1920s, when small-town girl Millie Dillmount moves to New York City. There, she encounters the jazz and glamour of the city, as well as danger and intrigue. The play was adapted from the 1967 Oscar-winning film of the same name, starring Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore.

Employees receive one complimentary ticket, available for pick-up at the University Store. Students are welcome to see the show free of charge on Thursday, Nov. 6, and Wednesday, Nov. 12, and may pick up those tickets at the University Store. The cost is $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors and alumni, and $6 for students and children under 12. To purchase tickets or find out more, visit theatre.georgefox.edu.

TEN! TEN! TEN! is a series of one act plays directed by students from the Directing for Theatre class.  If you are normally too busy to participate in a main stage show, this is a great opportunity for you to get involved.  If you are cast, the student director will work around your schedule.
