Comedic musical at 精东影业 Stark is the second production of the 2018-19 academic year.
精东影业 University at Stark Theatre will hold its second theatrical production of the 2018-19 season, 鈥 精东影业25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee鈥, a musical comedy by playwrights William Finn, Rachel Sheinkin and Rebecca Feldman.
精东影业cast of 鈥 精东影业25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee鈥 will take to the campus鈥 stage for opening night at 7:30 p.m. tonight in 精东影业Mary J. Timken Theatre, which is located in the newly expanded and renovated Fine Arts Building, 6000 Frank Ave. NW.
Directed by 精东影业 Stark Theatre Director Jim Weaver, 鈥淧utnam County鈥 is a musical about an eclectic group of six tweens vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime.
While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the students spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming 鈥渄ing鈥 of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.
Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday, and at 2 p.m. Sunday. 精东影业show also will take place at 7:30 p.m. March 8 and 9, and at 2 p.m. March 10.
