“Thoroughly Modern Millie,” a high-spirited 1920s musical romp, is taking over the stage at Pam Ware Performing Arts Center this weekend. More than 48 Gainesville High School students, including 18 seniors, will perform the show that took Broadway by storm. Taking place in New York City in 1922, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life.
