Paul Lowery *The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee* *July 27-August 5, 2018* Conceived by Rebecca Feldman Book by Rachel Sheinkin Music and Lyrics by William Finn Additional Material by Jay Reiss Directed by Dan Hendrock Music Directed by John Krol Lighting Design by T.Paul Lowery *Please Note: to be eligible to participate in this production* *you must attend at least 1 session of HBTI 2018 Summer Training.* *Auditions February 8-12, 2018 - Call backs February 23-26, 2018 (times to be announced)* *About The Music Man**:* There's trouble in River City when a fast talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, *The Music Man* is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Willson's six-time, Tony Award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation. *The Music Man* follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall. A full synopsis of the entire story is available on the Music Theatre International Website. The Music Man <https://www.mtishows.com/the-music-man> *Roles: *Roles are available for children, teens and young adults from 3rd grade – College. *About Spelling Bee:* Six awkward spelling champions learn that winning (and losing) isn't everything. Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, *The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee *has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A full synopsis of the entire story is available on the Musical Theatre International Website. Spelling Bee <https://www.mtishows.com/the-25th-annual-putnam-county-spelling-bee> *Roles: *Roles are available for teens and young adults from Middle School - College. *Auditions February 8-12, 2018 - Call backs February 23-26, 2018 (times to be announced)* *Please Note: to be eligible to participate in this production **you must attend at least 1 session of HBTI 2018 Summer Training.* General auditions for the shows will be held together.
