NEWS FLASH

See Kate McMillan in ” Dames at Sea” July 5-15 in Raleigh at Hot Summer Nights at the Kennedy, 2 East South Street, Raleigh, NC.  A recent BWW Reviews (raleigh.broadwayworld.com) says, “I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the fabulous performance of the ridiculously talented Kate McMillan, who played the bona fide star Mona Kent.  Her instincts for playing that character were perfect, and she was not afraid to embrace the inherent campiness of playing the glamorous star who is accustomed to getting what she wants.  Her singing voice filled that space, and I imagine it could fill spaces much larger; and she nailed it with the tone of her speaking voice and her character’s particular mannerisms.  She’s an actress who will be going places fast - go see her now while you can, so you can say you saw her when.”  Larissa Mount July 8, 2012.
