involved and that this was a musical, and I’d heard that there would be some audience participation and lots of mentions of the word “erection.” That’s about it. The plot of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a bit contrived, though, wholly enjoyable. All of our characters are introduced in the first song, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” It’s a bit of a contrived way to introduce characters, though it hardly stands out.

Russian tsar released his October Manifesto in an attempt to achieve compromise within society. Out of dispute, dancers such as Mikhail Fokine, Anna Pavlova, and Vaslav Nijinsky arranged secret meetings and protests with the help of students at the Theater School.

I have overall responsibility for all aspects of the show. I am expected to plan the show’s major phases, delegate authority to several managers, provide moral support, and ensure that revenues and expenses meet budgeted targets. In knowing these roles and responsibilities I knew it would be best to begin by meeting with people involved that had experience with the Society. I’ve organized the activities as discussed in this meeting and was able to find the critical path, prepare a Gantt
Prior to seeing Bombshells, I knew it was going to be a unique performance being a one-woman show. I was looking forward to seeing another production in the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater of the Milwaukee Rep, after having enjoyed seeing Cabaret there.
