SSCC presenting ‘The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’

0

SSCC Theatre will present “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” at 7:30 p.m. on both Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, and a family-friendly lite version at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, July 26, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on the central campus of Southern State Community College in Hillsboro.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents 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 (potentially made-up) words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life-unaffirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves. At least the losers get a juice box.

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” features the acting talents of Cindi Anderson, Lydia Bolitho, Micaela Countryman, Celia Griffin, Benjamin Gullett, Bob Lambert, Ryan Oates, Zebadiah Pickering-Polstra, and Eric Silcott.

The production team includes Rainee Angles (director/production), David White (music director), Abraham Martin (production), Laura Martin (costumes), and Gullett (public relations). Paula Campagna is the stage manager, and Madison Hatfield is the assistant stage manager. Fulfilling other crew positions are Brent Angles, Abby Van Brocklin, Coni Coleman, Cynnamon Sova Davy, Christine Giles, Bronwyn Jones and Ryan Tollefson.
