Voc-Tech Theatre Company News
Our next show…
The Voc-Tech Theatre Company is presenting the Tony Award winning Broadway show: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a cute and lively musical featuring six quirky middle school students competing in a spelling bee in a geographically ambiguous area with three equally quirky adults running the show. This exceptionally funny, fast-paced musical provides audiences with embarrassing gaffes, hilarious mishaps, and escalating laughs as a half-dozen tweens compete for the ultimate title of “Putnam County Spelling Bee Champion.” As each competitor journeys towards victory or defeat, they openly share their life experiences, hopes, dreams, ambitions, and insecurities. As we get to know each speller, the musical twists and turns from being hysterically funny to beautifully touching.

Our Last Show…
The Voc-Tech Theater Company presented Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People” directed by Marianne Morrissey last fall. The play was a drama about Dr. Britt Stockmann’s hometown on the coast of southern Norway. At her urging, the town has built some Baths attracting tourists and money. Soon, Dr. Stockmann realizes that the water of the Baths is teeming full of bacteria, ensuring everyone who visits will be sick. While some town officials support the Doctor’s discovery, many begin to push back out of fear of losing pride and money. Despite the opposition, the Doctor decides to run a town meeting revealing her discovery but is blindsided by her sister and is kept from reading her report. Driven by deceit, the Doctor launches into a speech declaring a new truth that she has discovered — true corruption in the town and the country gives power to the complacent majority. This speech turns the Doctor’s whole town against her but she retaliates by standing strong to her truth.
