SUMMARY:THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
DESCRIPTION:THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE\nProduced by JD Theatricals in Collaboration with the Long Beach Playhouse\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater\nApril 29 – May 27\, 2023\nMusic and Lyrics by William Finn\, Book by Rachel Sheinkin\, Conceived by Rebecca Feldman with Additional Material by Jay Reiss \nProducer: James Huffman \nDirectors: Russell Malang  and Bob Fetes \nChoreographer: Bethanie Lyon \nMusical Director: Matt Koutroulis \nDESCRIPTION OF SHOW:\nThis is JD Theatricals Production produced in Collaboration with the Long Beach Playhouse \nThis heartfelt musical comedy follows an eclectic group of  “tweens” who compete for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives\, they spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words\, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Eight spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride\, complete with audience participation\, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.

SUMMARY:BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY
DESCRIPTION:BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY\nBy Pearl Cleage\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater\nMay 20 – June 17\, 2023\nDirected by Sonya Randall\nIn the summer of 1930 in Harlem\, NY\, the creative euphoria of the Harlem Renaissance has given way to the harsher realities of the Great Depression. Guy and Angel\, recently fired from the Cotton Club\, struggle to hold on to their dreams; he of costuming Josephine Baker and she of having a steady career as a singer. When Leland\, a recent transplant\, comes to Angel’s aid\, he sees in her a memory of lost love and a reminder of the Alabama skies he misses.
