The Lampman School Drama has produced an absolutely hysterical piece titled, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It was held on Nov. 23 and Nov. 24, but if anyone missed it last weekend they are able to take it in on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
Directed by Christine Branyik-Thornton, musical direction by Anita Warriner, and vocal direction by Arlene Lafrentz the show is a great way to spend an evening bringing laughs to all.
The cast includes extremely talented individuals who are able to act, sing, and dance. McKenzie Warriner, Angela Fornwald, Carley Greening, Taylor Roy, Samantha Paxman, Morgan Jones, Maya Branyik-Thornton, Joshua Pele, Angela Hookenson, Kelly Oliver-Gress, and Samantha Greenwood work well together on-stage creating a wonderful atmosphere. They have committed to their characters and are able to bring them to life for the audience to enjoy.
Included in the performance are guest spellers. Audience members are invited to fill out an application to be chosen for a spot on-stage, where they fill in the rest of the cast and are asked to spell a number of words during the spelling competition.
Anita Warriner, Stacy Grunert, and Rob Wilson were the members of the band. The crew included Elusha Baird, Kiana Highfield, Shelby Stephen, Kelly Oliver-Gress, Skye Fichter, Marilyn Zimmerman, Shelley Fornwald, and the Theatre 20/30 Class. The canteen was run by Lorna Roy and the official photographer for the school was Foster Warriner.
The musical is quite a wonderful production with an amazing cast. It is evident much work was put into the play and is a must see for anyone looking for an evening of entertainment.
