Thoroughly Modern Millie

Sunday, Aug. 2 at 1pm

The second annual Seven Angels Theatre and the Palace Theater Community Summer Stock Collaborative, Thoroughly Modern Millie brings a community cast of all ages to the Palace stage. Based on the 1967 film of the same name, this Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of small-town girl Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City to marry for money instead of love – a thoroughly modern aim in 1922 – at a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever.

Bill Blumenreich presents Frank Caliendo
Saturday, Aug. 29 at 8pm

Known for "dead on" impressions of famous actors (Pacino, Robin Williams, DeNiro), politicians (Bush, Clinton) and broadcasters (Madden, Letterman, Leno, Rome), Frank, a 7-year veteran of TV sketch comedy (MadTV, Hype) debuted his own show, "Frank TV," last fall on the TBS network. On stage, his high energy act is a blend of observations, impressions, characters and anecdotal stories that build to a frenetic pace.
