 Bartlett High School’s Panther Playhouse presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with music and lyrics by William Finn. This production runs November 3rd-11th at Bartlett High School.
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee tells the story of an eclectic group of six adolescents vying 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 a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. The production stars Morgan Conner as Rona Lisa Perretti, Elliot Lear as Vice Principal Douglas Panch, Nate Freeman as William Barfee, Alyssa McNinch as Olive Ostrovsky, Chase Taylor as Chip Tolentino, Anora Moyer as Loggaine Schwartzandgrubenniere, Bryce Goodson as Leaf Coneybear, Ainsley Keegan as Marcy Park, and Malachi Stewart as Mitch Mahoney. The show also features an ensemble starring Brylee Harber, Hayley Lunsford, Charles Johnson, Kylee Oldham, Joshua Orozco, and Adalee Walker. This production is directed by Kirie Walz, with technical direction by Kevin Rogers and designed by BHS theatre students. Bartlett High School is located at 5688 Woodlawn St, Bartlett, TN 38134. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students, and $10 for children (10 and under) and can be purchased at www.bhspantherplayhouse.org or can be purchased at the door.

 Bartlett High School’s Panther Playhouse has announced its 2022-2023 season as it enters the third year in the beautiful new 840 seat facility. This year’s season will kick off with the Disney Channel’s smash hit High School Musical Jr. which will be directed, choreographed, and designed by BHS students. Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood will be next in the lineup, packed with thrills, romance, laughter, and immortal characters like Little John, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, and Robin Hood, hero of the people who takes on the ruthless powers that be. Get ready to duck a quarterstaff or two – you won’t want to miss a moment of the swashbuckling fun! Closing out the season, the Panther Playhouse is thrilled to bring back the show that never was – Hairspray. In the spring of 2020, just a few weeks away from opening night, BHS students left for spring break expecting to open the very first show in the new theatre only to never return for the remainder of the school year. This spring the show will finally open and tell the story of the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, who has only one desire – to dance on the popular "Corny Collins Show." When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from a social outcast to a breakout star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her ‘do!
