Pepperdine People Podcast

Bill Szobody has been a professor of dance at Pepperdine University for six years and has directed the dance program, Dance In Flight, for the past five years. As director of the fall 2008 musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, he takes on the challenge of transporting Pepperdine audiences to Manhattan in 1922 - a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. Actress Jillian Lawson, a Seaver College junior who plays Millie Dillmount in the play, picks the director's brain about his modern take on Thoroughly Modern Millie.
