The show centers around a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School in Putnam County, NY. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally-quirky grown-ups. The spellers learn that winning isn’t everything. The portion that was for mature audiences only has been deleted and Mrs. Ware said that it is enjoyable for all ages now.
Theatre Friends is sponsoring a Lil Elephant Talent Show as a fundraiser on Thursday, March 18 at the Warehouse. Students will audition for the choral teachers at their elementary schools.

There are no prizes or judging....just showcasing of talent. We hope to have singing, dancing, twirling, gymnastics, and playing musical instruments. 7 PM is curtain time. There will be no reserved seats....just general seating.
