The Waukesha Civic Theatre Opens THE 25TH ANNUAL...SPELLING BEE, 9/14-30

The Waukesha Civic Theatre presents The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, running weekends from September 14-30, 2012.

      Join us for an interactive theatre experience that puts the audience IN the show! For six awkward adolescents, the Putnam County Spelling Bee is their chance to step up and stand out. A few lucky audience members will join them as guest spellers, making every performance unique. Cheer on your friends and neighbors as they compete against Chip, Schwarzy, Coneybear, Barfee, Marcy, and Olive. No one is a loser during this energetic show, as Mitch, the ex-con "comfort counselor," will tell you. For mature audiences.

      The cast includes Paula Garcia, Christopher Elst, Max Kurkiewicz, GAbby Levine, Corey Richards, James Carrington, Kevin Gadzalinski, Jacqueline Boelkow, and Allison Chicorel.
