BJ Players Presents

: A group of quirky kids with a passion for spelling and wildly entertaining back-stories have flocked to Putnam Valley Middle School to compete (and sing!) in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. As the words tested become more difficult and the spellers get eliminated one by one, friendships are formed and the characters’ inner troubles and hilarious backstories are slowly revealed.
 
Our own Cantor Malachi Kanfer will be the show’s Musical Director.
Cindy Gerber and Susan Jacobs will serve as Co-Directors.

Performance dates: 
Thursday, April 2 - Dress Rehearsal
   Saturday, April 4 - Opening night!
