BWW Blog: Leanne Marie Laurino - A 'Very Nice Beginning'

After six months of anticipation, the curtain has fallen on The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. William Barfee has taken home the top prize as well as a friend that he will cherish forever. All of the spellers have learned valuable lessons that have resided with them throughout adulthood. As a company we have all grown in this process and value our successes and failures that will only make us stronger.

Our Advanced Musical Theatre Class has reflected on our production at the beginning of this week. As we all depart to new beginnings, we will take these experiences with us and grow as performers. Along with our character development, we have all gathered a bevy of new design and technical skills away from this project.

The reviews are in and they are refreshingly gratifying. The ability to be recognized for a long standing commitment is exceedingly rewarding. On behalf of the Entire company, I would like to personally thank everyone who has followed our assignment and witnessed it come to fruition!

Of course, at the end of every adventure, another is set to emerge! UHSPAC's fall production of Footloose will start rehearsing in September. Don't miss out on insight leading up to opening night !
