"A THEATRE EXPERIENCE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME"
DON'T MISS OUR SENIOR DIVISONS SUMMER SHOW
THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY
SPELLING BEE
August 11 - 28, 2016
We are offering 3 different cast;
All ranging in ages of 12- college,
with 1 weekend of performances for each cast!
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
A riotous ride complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is delightful den of comedic genius. The small cast and unit set make this a perfect option for high schools or community theatres. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite.
