The award-winning Highlands High School Theatre Department will end its  2018-19 season with four performances of the hilarious comedy 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on March 21-24, 2019.
Four special guests will star as “guest spellers” every night at the show. Guests include Jon Curl, who is better known as JonJon on Q102 (Thursday), Dr. Karen Cheser, Superintendent of Fort Thomas Independent Schools and Matt Bertasso, principal of Highlands High School (Friday), Maryanne Zeleznik, News Director and Morning Edition Host for WVXU (Saturday) and Tricia Macke, Evening Anchor for Fox 19 (Sunday).
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime.
While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation!
