GRAVES COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - Graves County High School musical-theater students will present their spring musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, May 9 and 10, at the district’s Performing Arts Center, located adjacent to GCHS.

The stage play is based on a 1967 film starring Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore. It tells the story of a young woman, Millie Dillmount, who becomes a flapper in the Roaring ‘20s of New York, when she plans to marry… for money, rather than love.

Thursday's performance offers first come, first served, general admission seating for $5. Friday's performance includes assigned ticket seating.

Performing "Forget About The Boy" and pictured here, from left, are Kayla Patterson, Destiny Staples, Sierra Marshall, Mary Katheryn Curtis, Alyssa Rollston, Livi Gregorowicz, Brea Rollston, Alexis Bell, Elise Ballard, Tamia Fair, and Ariel Cornaby.

GRAVES COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - “All the world’s a stage,” Shakespeare wrote in one of his most-quoted passages, “And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.”

Sounds like a great theme for a show and it is exactly that, as Graves County High School’s annual “Curtain Call” takes its cue from the Bard’s classic line from his play “As You Like It.”

Oh, and you will like it! How could you not? With the tremendous talent of Graves County High School’s Fine Arts and Health Sciences Academy and its wide variety of performers and performances – orchestra, choir, drama, and jazz band. In addition to a fresh crop of young talent with special guests of Graves County Central Elementary School’s widely-traveled and nationally-recognized Drama Club and Lowes Elementary’s exciting and growing drama club. 

GRAVES COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - The Graves County School District presented its first-ever talent show, "Graves County’s Got Talent," featuring performers from all eight of its elementary schools as well as Graves County Middle and High schools on the last Saturday evening of January 2013.

Donna Gream, manager of the district’s Performing Arts Center, called the show “a very successful evening with various performances, ranging from a drum solo to dancers, vocalists, and musicians.”

She added, “All the kids were just wonderful and everyone that came loved seeing them showcase their talent. We’re hoping we can do this again next year.”
