The Barn Players Community Theatre held its annual Barney Awards and Volunteer Appreciation Celebration this week.

The high quality of productions such as THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, which opened on Friday September 18, is why The Barn Players won the 2014 Broadway World Regional Award for Outstanding Theater of the Year in the Kansas City Region. Kip Simmons directs the musical based on the 1967 film of the same name, starring Julie Andrews. Richard Morris wrote the original story and screenplay for Universal Pictures. CHRYSANTHEMUM, which opened in London in 1956, was the basis for the story and screenplay.

The Barn Players brings 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' a high-spirited, zany musical romp, set in New York City in the height of the Roaring Twenties, to its stage in a fantastic production filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men, outstanding music, bright dance numbers, romance and even a dragon-lady villainess. The play is a perfect blend of madcap music, dancing and entertainment for the entire family.
