*Avenue Arts proudly announces auditions for... * *THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE!* *AUDITIONS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE W.G. FRY THEATRE LOCATED INSIDE THE CULTURAL CENTER FOR THE ARTS!!* *Located at 1001 Market Ave. N Canton, Ohio 44702* SYNOPSIS: 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. *"THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE" is presented by special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI)* Director: David Lee Musical Director: Jared Sparks Choreographer: Sarah Jane Toy Stage Manager: Ginette Jaramillo Assistant Stage Manager: Emily Hisey Auditions will be held on Monday, November 7th and Tuesday, November 8th from 7-9pm Callbacks (if necessary) will take place later in the week, date TBD.
