* PG-13 -- THIS SHOW CONTAINS SOME HUMOR THAT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. *
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee -- a hilarious, touching, and sometimes irreverent musical about a group of middle school spelling bee competitors -- will be performed by the Hathaway Brown Upper School on Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21, at 7:30 p.m. Please join us! Tickets may be purchased online using our secure server here.
Marcy Park (Alex Wiebe '17), William Barfee (Kerry Gnandt '16), Olive Ostrovsky (Kat Holleran '16), Chip Tolentino (Amanda Merritt '16), Logainne Schwartzandgrubenniere (Ellen Young '17), and Leaf Coneybear (Emma Picht '17) are six anxious, high-energy middle school students from Putnam County who are the finalists in the Annual Spelling Bee.
The host of the Bee is professional real estate agent Rona Lisa Perretti (Rosalie Phillips '17) who was herself the Third Annual winner. Vice Principal Dottie Panch (Kavya Menon '16), who is returning after a five-year hiatus, is the word announcer. The cast also includes a counselor (Sam Scott '17), present to console the "losers," along with cheerleaders (Marion Siperstein '16, Katie Doherty '18, Josie Carlson '18, and Elizabeth Javorsky '18), Logainne's parents Carl (Molly Sharpe '16) and Dan (Maggie Gehrlein '17), a Putnam County Representative (Grace Rossi '16), and some surprise characters to round out the parade of misfits who make the whole experrience such a good time.
This musical is immensely entertaining and we guarantee that you will have a great time! At each performance, we even ask for a few audience volunteers to join the fun by participating as spellers. We hope to see you there!
