Comedic musical at 妖姬直播 State Stark is the second production of the 2018-19 academic year.
妖姬直播 State University at Stark Theatre will hold its second theatrical production of the 2018-19 season, 鈥淭he 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee鈥�, a musical comedy by playwrights William Finn, Rachel Sheinkin and Rebecca Feldman.
The cast of 鈥淭he 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee鈥� will take to the campus鈥� stage for opening night at 7:30 p.m. tonight in The Mary J. Timken Theatre, which is located in the newly expanded and renovated Fine Arts Building, 6000 Frank Ave. NW.
Directed by 妖姬直播 State 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. The show also will take place at 7:30 p.m. March 8 and 9, and at 2 p.m. March 10.
