The Depart of Theatre presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

04/20/2025 2:00 pm

The Depart of Theatre presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Book by Rachel Shenkin. Music and Lyrics by William Finn. Conceived by Rebecca Feldman.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing "ding" of the bell that signals a mistake. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful, heartwarming, fast-paced crowd pleaser! Directed by Morgan Hicks.

In the Grove of Forgetting

04/20/2025 2:00 pm

Summer, 1938. Ilona, a concert pianist known for her sharp wit as much as her musical passion, refuses to be ruled by fear, even as fellow Jewish artists and academics flee Hungary. Surely Budapest is safe from the growing Nazi fervor - isn't it? Filled with intrigue, music, and wry humor, this world premiere is a taut emotional thriller, as a woman caught in one of history's darkest moments fights to find a way forward.

Sound Bath

04/20/2025 7:15 pm - 8:45 pm

Join Melody for an evening of soothing sound and breath work, the 3rd Sunday of each month, 7:15-8:45pm.

As we find stillness, we will soften and release into sound using a variety of instruments including crystal and metal singing bowls. The vibration will permeate our bodies and spirits as it dissolves any lingering tension and allows us to soften more deeply into our selves and into the moment.

The sound bath will be split up into 20 minute increments with time for silence and integration in between.

Bring pillows, props, blankets and anything else you'd like to feel cozy!
