"Thoroughly Modern Millie" opens at LHS
LYNNFIELD — Lynnfield High School’s production of “Thoroughly
Modern Millie” has been selected to participate in North Shore Music
Theatre’s Spotlight Award this year.
The program, which recognizes that achievement in musical theater, demands
an exceptional amount of diligence, discipline, commitment, and imaginative
effort, honors students and teacher accomplishment at the highest levels of
excellence in the artistic expression of theater.
LHS will compete with 25 other schools from Greater Boston, North Shore,
and Southern New Hampshire areas in the first phase of the competition. A
panel of theater professionals will attend a performance of each school’s
musical and then award points according to consistent guidelines. Ten schools
will then be selected to compete for a range of technical and artistic awards,
such as Best Musical, Best Director, Best Leading Actor/Actress, Best Costume
Design, and Best Technical Execution. At the awards ceremony, which will take
place in the spring of 2009, each school is invited to perform a production
number on stage at North Shore Music Theater.
“This is like a high-school level Tony Awards,” said Doug Hodgkins,
the shows director. “It’s incredibly exciting for us.”
