We would like to invite you, family and friends to our fall musical production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at Fort Hayes High School. It's a fantastic show that even involves some audience participation!

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 lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to 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.

Cast includes: Earnest Johnson - Mitch Mahoney, Jarell Johnson - Vice Principal, Panch, Lo Jackson - Rona Lisa Peretti, Emma Lou Andrews - Olive Ostrovsky, Juda Culp - Marcy Park, Austen Brown - William Barfee, Kacie Howell - Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre, Daniel Smith - Chip Tolentino, David Maston - Leaf Coneybear.

Performances will be held in the Fort Hayes Performing Arts Theatre, 546 Jack Gibbs Blvd., Columbus, Ohio this Friday, November 11th, and Saturday, November 12th at 7:00 pm and Sunday, November 13th at 3:00 pm. You may purchase tickets at www.localevelevents.com
