Help to reschedule?

I feel really bad about Cardinal High School cancelling its upcoming production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." Regardless of the stated reasons for cancellation, it's still a shame that those kids worked so hard to have this taken from them. This may sound like an unworkable request, but is there anyone in that area who could provide a stage for this minimal-sized cast, or even a black box theatre for them to perform--away from any parents who might be offended?

Berko review: HADESTOWN
by Roy Berko 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Anais Mitchell’s music, lyric and book are impressive, if not always clear as to purpose. You will not walk out of the theatre whistling or humming any of the songs. It is doubtful that you will remember any of the lyrics. What you will remember are the outstanding performances and the innovative directing of Rachel Chavkin and choreography of David Neumann. This is a must see for theater-goers who appreciate the craft of theater!* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * *www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
