Ethel Peas, played by Genevieve BelknapSJHS Staff Writer
Springville High School has brought great amusement to their school. Thoroughly Modern Millie was a huge hit that everyone loved. The play was based on a country girl who moves to the city to get a life and a job. She bumps into a small number of people, and later on, they become her friends.
“It was great! I loved all of the actors, and I thought that they all did very well,” Eric Mageno, one of the viewers of the play, said. “It was really worth the money.” On a scale one through ten, he rated it an absolute ten.
Viewers loved the play, but what about the cast and crew? Genevieve Belknap played Ethel Peas in the play. “It was a lot of fun, but it took up lots of time,” she explained. She said that it was so excellent that she couldn’t find anything wrong with it, and wouldn’t change anything. On a scale one through ten, she rated it a definite ten.
At Springville Junior High school, Mrs. Gleave was one of the choreographers for the high school play. “It was fun. You get to blend ideas. I only choreographed dances for the China men and Sweet Mystery of Life,” Mrs. Gleave explained. “It was a blast! The students were excited to go to rehearsal, and create something for their friends to go see.” Mrs. Gleave couldn’t find anything to change about the play, because the students helped to choreograph the dances, and worked very hard to make it happen. Mrs. Gleave also rates this play a ten. Thoroughly Modern Millie was one of her favorites.
So, there you have it. The SHS school play was a huge success, and filled with fun entertainment, Thoroughly Modern Millie.
