Shorter College to present “Thoroughly Modern Millie”

February 12 - Shorter College’s award-winning theatre department will present “Thoroughly Modern Millie” this month at the Callaway Theatre.

The high-spirited musical romp that’s full of spectacular dance numbers chronicles the life of young Millie Dillmount as she takes her first steps in the big city of Manhattan in 1922.

The production, heavy with dazzling tap dance choreography, will give Shorter students a chance to show off their rigorous dance training.
