SSCC Theatre is pleased to announce their upcoming auditions for the summer production of The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

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 life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never 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 roles of the children are played by adults.)

Auditions, open to community members and students, will be held on Friday, June 5 at 6:30 p.m. in The Edward K. Daniels Auditorium at the Central Campus of Southern State Community College, in Hillsboro, OH. Those interested in auditioning should prepare and memorize a comedic one to two-minute monologue, as well as a short musical comedy song. Those interested on working in available crew positions will be asked to complete an interview the night of auditions. If you’re interested in auditioning, but unavailable to attend the audition date, please contact Rainee Angles ([email protected]) to schedule an alternate audition date prior to June 5.

The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, directed by Rainee Angles and musically directed by David White, will be performed July 24 – 26.
