Wow! We were so impressed with the quality of all of you who came out to audition. It was wonderful for Jo and I to get to hear your singing and such well-prepared monologues. We wish we could have cast all of you, but that just wasn’t possible. Please keep honing your skills and auditioning!

Here’s what you need to know, if you made the list:
1. Tonight, 1-24-13, 4:30-6:30 at ACT, is the parent meeting/read-thru. We need everyone to be there to pick up scripts, meet each other, etc.
2. Rehearsals are Monday -Thursday, 4:30-6:30, beginning Monday the 28th. Additional rehearsals are called for Saturday Feb 23 & March 2, 9-11am @ ACT.
3. Fees are $40 participation, & $75 ad sale fee. We hope to be able to receive the $40 fee tonight at the parent meeting. Remember, no child has ever been turned away from ACT due to inability to pay. We do have scholarships available. Just see me (Paris) for the paperwork.
4. Performance dates: Parent pre-view: March 5, and public shows: March 7, 8, 9 @ 7pm, and March 2 @ 2pm.

So, without further chit-chat from me, here’s the cast list for the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee:

Caleb Lyon: Chip
Shane Morrow: Leaf Coneybear
