Equinox Theatre Presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

By:

On our Main Stage in April, we at the Equinox Theatre are doing what we do best, ADOLESCENCE. Yes, we're bringing back the thrill of puberty and the angst of over achieving in this Tony Award winning show that chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. Supervised by "grown-ups" who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, these kids learn that winning may not be the only thing and losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. Join us as we present this musical that celebrates an improbable collection of heroes: a peculiar yet endearing group of refugees for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can harmonize and sing solo at the same time.

Shows run at 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays from April 1st - April 16th. There will be a complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres party at 7:30pm on opening night. Reservations are recommended at 406-587-0737, ext.1. The Equinox Theatre is located at 2304 North 7th Ave., in the strip mall across from Murdoch's.

The Rocky Horror Show

Also on our Main Stage in April, the original stage musical that started the cult craze! Join Brad and Janet, two clean cut kids, as they delve into the delights and depravity at the castle of Dr. Frank N Furter and his freakish friends. Grab your bustiers and fishnets for an audience participating, gender bending good time! Let's all do the Time Warp again! We're running four shows with two of them being Audience Participation. Thursday, April 21st at 8pm, Friday, April 22nd at 8pm (this is an audience participation show), April 23rd at 8pm and also on April 23rd, a special Midnight Audience Participation Show! *There will be a free Wine and Dessert reception at 7:30 on opening night.

The Equinox Theatre is at 2304 N. 7th Ste C-1 across the street from Murdoch's. Tickets are $12 and $10 for Students. The show is recommended for 18 and above. Reservations can be made at 587-0737, ext.1.
