UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
There’s nothing quite like the energy of a live student performance. Whether it’s a musical, a concert, or an art show, these events are where our students’ creativity, discipline, and passion come alive. Each performance is the culmination of months of hard work and artistic growth - and a celebration of our students’ courage to share it. We invite families, friends, and the broader community to join us in honoring and supporting our student artists. Come be inspired. Come be moved. Come to a show.
Spring Musical
Friday May 2 - Sunday May 11
​
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
A charming and hilarious musical that blends humor, heart, and a bit of chaos. With a quirky set of characters and witty dialogue, this show explores themes of adolescence, the pressure to succeed, and the awkwardness of growing up, all through the lens of a regional spelling bee competition. Featuring a mix of catchy songs and comedic moments, it’s definitely one of those shows where both the absurdity of the competition and the emotional vulnerability of the characters create a blend of humor and heart that resonates with audiences.
​
Note: This show has two casts, one with upperclassmen and one with lower classmen. Show times and cast performances can be seen on the ticket page below.
