THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE Runs Nov. 8-12

CCM_Spelling BeeTHE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE 
UC College-Conservatory of Music
Nov. 8-12
[University Heights]

Directed by Chaz Wolcott
Music directed by Steve Goers

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

  • Wed-Thu, Nov. 8-9 at 8pm

LATE NITE CATECHISM
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Nov. 4-Dec. 23
Shelterhouse Theatre [Eden Park]

One of the longest running shows in Chicago and U.S. theatre history, this one-nun comedy is part catechism class, part stand-up routine. A playful and compassionate send-up of Catholic culture, the audience becomes Sister’s class in this uproarious piece of interactive theatre. Sister is filling in for Father Murphy, who doesn’t want to miss his poker night, and she’s going to teach the class the way she wants. She goes on to weave stories into a hilarious tapestry that laughs at the quirks of the church while simultaneously embracing them. The Hollywood Reporter said it’s “a laugh-filled evening for all cultures, classes and religions.” Appropriate for audiences 12 and up and contains no strong language.
