The North Platte Community Playhouse has announced the cast for the first production of their 2014/2015 season, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical comedy that centers on a fictional spelling bee at Putnam County Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally quirky grown-ups.
