The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Another show that turned out to be somewhat prop-lite. I think most people know the story of these children in a cutthroat, weird spelling bee. My main challenge with this play was actually the number cards, as the director wanted cards that looked like they were held around a character's neck by a string, yet allowed a full range of movement for the dancing and acrobatics to take place without the card slapping them or someone else in the face. Otherwise, props involved the trophy, some decorative sports equipment, a table microphone, and not much else.
