A darkly delicious story of misfit Veronica Sawyer and the shoulder-padded,
scrunchie-wearing Heathers: the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. The vicious
social order of high school is upset with the entrance of Veronica’s dark and sexy
new boyfriend J.D. and his plans to put the Heathers in their place—six feet under.
College of Fine Arts Patrons Society
The Millikin University College of Fine Arts Patrons
Society was created to benefit the over 600 Millikin
student-artists participating in nearly 20 degree
programs. The Patrons Society provides budget
support and helps create special projects which might
otherwise go unfunded. The society’s mission is to
bring together the university and individuals who
believe in the promotion and support of the fine and
performing arts and the student-artist at Millikin
University. If you would like more information about
the Patrons Society, you can visit the web at:

Ten years out of high school, Regan, Gena, and Katie convene in the luxurious bridal suite of their old friend,
Becky, the night before her wedding in New York City. Fueled by jealousy and resentment, the girls embark on
a night of debauchery that goes from playfully wasted to devastatingly destructive. Their old fears, unfulfilled
desires and deep bonds with each other transform a prenuptial bender into a night they'll never forget, but
who has the last laugh in this bitter comedy that will split you down the seams.

School of Music Concerts
Millikin Women’s Mother’s Day Concert Sunday, May 7, 2:00 pm
Central Christian Church
650 W. William St.
Free and open to the public
The 65-voice choir, under the direction of conductor Beth Holmes, will be honoring mothers and female
mentors who have made an impact in the lives of current choir members. Mothers and mentors identified by
collegiate singers will join in singing the final piece of the concert, "The Blessing," made famous by Celtic
Woman.
The choir has just completed their spring weekend tour, and is known for embracing diverse repertoire with a
high level of choral excellence, along with a commitment to infuse each piece with emotive content. This
year’s concert season includes both sacred and secular works spanning centuries and genres. Two contrasting
Psalm texts exhibit this flexibility, one a Classical Michael Haydn setting written in 1780 for treble boys choir
in Saltzburg, England and the second recently commissioned by Professor Holmes and a consortium of
collegiate women's choral conductors, by contemporary Hungarian composer, Levente Gyöngyösi. One
portion of the concert develops the theme “Journey” and another will feature folk music from Africa, Pakistan,
Bulgaria, and Turkey.
Chamber Ensemble Concert Thursday, May 11, 7:30 pm

The chamber ensemble will feature the Eidolan Woodwind Quintet and the Student Brass Quintet. The
woodwind quintet will be performing works by Albeniz, Damase, Ligeti, and Gershwin. The brass quintet will
perform music by Holborne, Praetorius, and Brahms. These student ensembles are coached by Prof. Tina
Nicholson and Prof. Randall Reyman.
