The Evergreen Park High School theatre department will kick off its 2016 performance season with a staging of the toe-tapping musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”

The musical is based on the 1967 film of the same name, which follows the adventures of a small town girl from Kansas, who moves to New York City, looking to marry for money instead of love, a thoroughly modern aim for 1922. What Millie Dillmount encounters instead are flappers, sexuality and white slavers.

Performances are Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 21 at 2 p.m. Performances will be in the Batho Auditorium at Evergreen Park High School, 9901 S. Kedzie Ave.

Tickets are $6 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. For more info about tickets, call Carol at 708-398-1236.
