The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee is a one act musical comedy. The show centers on a fictional spelling bee set at Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally-quirky grown ups. Katie's Logainne character is the precious ultra-liberal political daughter of two gay dads. She has to speak and sing with a lisp (yes, she's already started practing this). Katrina will be directing the musical. The cast consists of present and former Edgewood High School students. They met for practice last night and listened to all the songs in the musical. They will present the show the first weekend in August.
Dan Fogler (Number 13) won a Tony Award for Featured Actor In a Musical in the original Broadway show in 2005. His character William Morris Barfee uses his foot to spell out the word on the floor before he speaks it outloud for the judges. Luke will be portraying this character.
Of course I said I would help out in any capacity for the musical--costumes, make-up, props, food--whatever is needed! It's going to be a fun show to watch!!
