“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is a one-act musical that stages a spelling bee contest against a backdrop of drama. The musical includes nine primary characters: six spelling bee contestants, including last year’s champ, and three administrators, including a felon doing community service. Each has a distinct personality that contributes to the intrigue as the spelling bee unfolds. A small supporting cast also helps to keep the action interesting and move the story along.

Students will be required to provide documentation that they are fully vaccinated for Covid-19 vaccination or request an exemption to be enrolled in the course.

Rehearsals will begin Monday, August 30 and performances will take place in the Performing Arts Center at Napa Valley College November 5-7 and 12-14, 2021. The production will be directed by Napa Valley College theater adjunct instructor Olivia Cowell, with music direction by Dr. Christina Howell, coordinator of music/director of vocal studies.
