The 25th Annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee Oct. 13-17, 2026 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 lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter (along with some randomly selected audience members); one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. Preview Reading Preview Listening Production Calendar |
Peter Pan
Goes Wrong One-Act Edition Dec. 3-5, 2026 Brace yourselves for an awfully big adventure when the inept and accident-prone Cornley Drama Society sets out to present J.M. Barrie’s much-loved classic tale of Peter Pan, their most audacious production to date. Flying? Pyrotechnics? Sharp hooks? What ensues is one-act of hysterical disaster, battling technical hitches, flying mishaps, and cast disputes. But will they ever make it to Neverland? You’ll laugh; they’ll cry. Something so wrong has never been so right, even if the Cornley Drama Society wish they could forget what just happened. Preview Reading Production Calendar |
Hadestown
Teen Edition April 8-10, 2027 This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
