Cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Announced

Upper School Drama teacher Ronda Hewitt has announced the cast for the Upper School's musical production The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Rehearsals began last week. In the musical, "an eclectic group of six students 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 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!" The show even has some audience participation. Mark your calendars now for performances on March 27-29. Congratulations to the cast and crew:
