SBCC Theatre Group to Present 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, 7/12-27
The Theatre Group at SBCC is excited to open the 2013-2014 season with the quirky musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Music and Lyrics by William Finn, Book by Rachel Sheinkin, Conceived by Rebecca Feldman, and additional material by Jay Reiss. Directed by R. Michael Gros and Musical Direction by David Potter, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescents vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award-winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will feature Madelyn Adams, Lilli Babb, Brian Harwell, Miller James, Emily Jewell, Skyler Jones, Whitney Claire Kaufman, Allison Lewis, Tad Murroughs and Taylor Winfield Babcock.
Performances will be in the newly-remodeled Garvin Theatre, July 12-27, 2013, Thursday through Saturday @ 7:30pm, Sundays @ 2pm, with Previews on July 10 & 11 @ 7:30pm.
