Putnam County Spelling Bee in Montrose!

Putnam County Spelling BEe in Montrose

Six awkward spelling champions learn that winning (and losing) isn’t everything in the “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.”
Endless Mountains Theatre Company brings this award-winning musical comedy to the stage this summer with performances slated for Friday, July 31, 8 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 1, 8 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 2, at 2 p.m., at the Montrose Movie Theater, 38 Public Ave., Montrose. The box office will open one-half hour before show time; concessions are available.

Six youngsters vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.

Will the 24th Bee winner Chip Tolentino (Gavin Herman) be able to defend his title this year up against the challengers?:
Logainne Schwartzandgrubbeniere (Skylar Secord) the youngest and most politically aware speller;
Leaf Coneybear (Logan Sauls) the homeschooler with a family of former hippies who spells while in a trance;
William Barfee (Eli Sauls) a finalist in the 24th Bee, with his “one foot” method, he’s back to win;
Marcy Park (dual cast with Autumn Calegari and Sarah Raub) a transfer from Virginia who placed ninth at nationals, speaks six languages, and is not allowed to cry; and
Olive Ostrovsky (Amanda Rispoli) a newcomer in the competitive spelling world with neglectful parents. She became friends with the dictionary at a young age.

Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a winner. At least the losers get a juice box – provided by comfort counselor Mitch Mahoney (Bonnie Love-Colwell).

Former champion Rona Lisa Peretti (Jasentha Van Nort) serves as the moderator; and Vice Principal Doug Panch (Bob DeLuca) is the judge after taking a five-year sabbatical following an “incident” at the 20th annual spelling bee.

Select members of the audience will get to go along for the ride with a chance to compete for the top prize – a trip to the national spelling stage.
EMTC’s production is being directed by Caleb Park with Sandra Raub serving as executive producer.

Tickets are available at the door and are $12 for adults; and $10 for seniors and students. Due to some adult content, this show may not be suitable for young audiences.
