M&M Stage Productions will present Thoroughly Modern Millie at Kelsey Theatre Aug. 3 and 4 and 8 p.m. and Aug. 5 at 2 p.m. Thomas Coppolecchia of Bordentown stars as Jimmy Smith. Bordentown resident Isabella Mayo is also featured in the ensemble.
Millie Dillmount has just arrived in New York City direct from Kansas and ready to make her mark. It’s 1922, the height of the Jazz Age, and girls are bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and reinventing the rules of romance. Determined to marry a wealthy businessman, Millie finds herself attracted instead to the penniless Jimmy Smith. Meanwhile, Mrs. Meers, the landlady at Millie’s dingy hotel for women, has a get-rich scheme of her own and it doesn’t bode well for the girls in her stead.
Kelsey Theatre is located on Mercer County Community College’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Rd. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and $16 for students/children. Tickets may be purchased online at kelseytheatre.net or by calling the Kelsey Box Office at (609) 570-3333. Kelsey Theatre is wheelchair accessible, with free parking next to the theater.
