“Thoroughly Modern Millie” invites audiences to experience the age of flappers, jazz and big-city glamour. Based loosely upon the film starring Julie Andrews and Carol Channing, the 2002 musical garnered 11 Tony Award nominations and took home the prestigious Best Musical prize.            

An affectionate musical spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies, “The Little Shop of Horrors” tells the zany tale of Seymour, a down-on-his-luck florist, and his mysterious, exotic and hungry plant. As Seymour’s prosperity grows, so does the plant’s appetite! A silly and lighthearted satire, “The Little Shop of Horrors” playfully explores the price of fame.

SummerStock at The University of Findlay has been setting the standard for professional theater in northwest Ohio since 1977. SummerStock uses a core professional company and supplements with an adjunct company of undergraduate interns and high school apprentices.
