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.
Vocal Dimensions earned a Division 1 rating (with a perfect sight reading score!) at the MSVMA District Choral Festival last week. The score qualifies them for MSVMA State Choral Festival in May.
