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

Straight No Chaser has been a holiday tradition with many repeat attenders because their show doesn’t easily fit into a preset gift box. They are either a comedy group that harmonizes extremely well or an a cappella group that thrives because it doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you take away either skill, SNC would ferment quicker than eight day old eggnog.

Photos: First look at Curtain Players’ THE REVOLUTIONISTS

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris.
