BWW Blog: Leanne Marie Laurino - It's Curtain Time!

After months of preparation and devoted class time, the cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is equipped for opening. This is the time for us to not only celebrate our achievement, but inspire the 350 spectators we are set to entertain this weekend. This project has instilled in us the power of teamwork and the capability of a group of high school performers. All of our previous training has prepared us to take on our production roles and to communicate the journey of our characters. Every child in this show is a stereotypical representation of students you could find sitting in your elementary school class.

The most intriguing aspect of our show is our onstage spellers! Four lucky volunteers will have their own opportunity to become the next Putnam County champion. The students will receive new opponents to compete against and will put their knowledge to the test.

On behalf of our Advanced Musical Theatre class, I would like to take a chance to thank everyone who has followed our path to a 'very nice beginning.' If you're in the area, come see our show! Our sponsors, the Putnam County optometrists would be pleased to welcome you. For ticket information feel free to contact my email, lmlaurino@comcast.net or visit www.uhspac.com.
