Millbrook’s first Arts Night since 2019 was a cavalcade of talent as musicians, actors, and dancers entertained a lively crowd in the Chelsea Morrison Theater. With ensemble performances by Millbrook Singers, The Groove, and Millbrook Dance, the show also featured solo musical masterworks, improv comedy, dramatic scenes, and a monologue.
