THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE Comes to Hill Country Community Theatre in June
Performances run June 21st through July 7th, 2024.
Hill Country Community Theatre has announced its upcoming production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," a Tony Award-winning musical comedy. The show will run weekends from June 21st through July 7th, 2024, at the Hill Country Community Theatre, located at 4003 W FM 2147 Cottonwood Shores, Tx 78657.
This delightful musical follows an eclectic group of six mid-pubescent children vying 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 a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
The talented cast features:
- Jordan Jones -William Barfée
- Jaylee Sagebiel - Olive Ostrovsky
- Hunter Holder - Charlito “Chip” Tolentino
- Cameron Newell - Leaf Coneybear
- Avery Hoad - Logainne “Schwartzy” Schwartzandgrubenier
- Janine Seale - Marcy Park
- Hayden Holder - Mitch Mahoney
- Richard Day - Vice Principal Douglas Panch
- Libby Holder - Rona Lisa Peretti
Directed by Betty Hukill, with musical direction by Christine Ashbaugh, this production promises to be a highlight of the summer theater season.
