The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

4/20/2024

The curtain closed for the 100th - and final - time on a Mrs. Pribble production.

The Upper School presented a delightful tale of quirky contestants, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" in April. Over three performances, audiences were laughing and having a s-p-e-c-t-a-c-u-l-a-r good time!

Cast members rehearsed for months in preparation for the musical. The show is #100 for Drama Teacher and Hawley Chairholder in the Arts, Mrs. Carol Pribble. Bravo to the talented cast and crew! Bravo, and THANK YOU, Mrs. Pribble, for 100 fabulous shows and 40 unforgettable years at University School!
