The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee presented by the Crafton Hills College Theatre Department was on stage in the Finkelstein Performing Arts Center March 6-8th. Directed by Paul Jacques and Assistant Director Andrew Hartel, the cast and crew put on a hilarious show. The quality production featured a talented group of students performing. This well-choreographed and entertaining musical comedy engaged the audience as the six competitors in the Bee shared their personal journeys and struggles while attempting to avoid the dreaded “bell” indicating a spelling mistake. For the first time in many years, the show featured a live orchestra conducted by Musical Director Mark McConnell which enhanced the performance and gave the students an opportunity to perform with live music.
