Observed each year during the first full week of March, NSBW shines a spotlight on the School Breakfast Program and the dedicated school nutrition professionals who fuel students every morning!
Dutch Theatre Presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! (At least the losers get a juice box.)
- March 5-8
- Thurs-Sat at 7pm
- Sat-Sun at 1pm
- HHS PAC
A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. The small cast and unit set make this a perfect option for high schools or community theatres. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant favorite.
