Then you should come and see the Elkins Theatre Department production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. This Tony® award-winning hit musical recently closed on Broadway after nearly 1,200 performances. The hilarious musical comedy celebrates the mania of competition as the funniest most lovable and sardonically nerdy contestants compete for the Spelling Bee title. Six wacky misfits with steely ambition strive to define themselves apart from their crazy families as they confront the pitfalls of puberty. The quirky mix of determined youngsters, including sheepish Leaf Coneybear, nasally challenged yet smug and confident William Barfee, and Olive Ostrovsky, a sweet, painfully shy girl whose absent mother is on a spiritual quest, discover themselves as they vie for selection in this witty and wise Broadway hit about coming of age on stage! Thursday,Friday and Saturday at 7. $7 for students, $10 for adults, sold at the door.

The advanced Theatre classes are presenting a program in honor of our nation's veterans during 1st - 4th periods on Friday, November 10th. As we did two years ago, there will be a "brick" wall of honor as well as a slide show. We are inviting all staff members and students to share the following information for any friends or relatives who have served or are currently serving in the military: Name, branch, approximate dates of service. We'd also like photographs - in uniform or not - to include in the slide show. The information and photos will be compiled by the members of the Thespian Society. You can email the information to me. If you can scan in the photos and email them to me, that would be ideal. Unfortunately, most of the photos collected last time were lost when the hard drove on my laptop died so I'll need them again.
All classes are invited to attend, as are family members and friends. We're hoping to have several members of the community join us. Please let me know if you'd like to bring a class to any or all of the assemblies so that I can send you further information.
