L R P c a s t s e t fo r J u n e p ro d u c t i o n o f ‘S p e l l i n g B e e’ The cast for The Last Resort Players’ production of the adult comedy “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” will take the main stage for six performances at the Florence Events Center. Show dates will be June 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21. Among the cast are local theater veterans and some fresh new faces that will delight audience with wit and humor. “Chip Tolentino” by Jesse Reeves; “Logainne Schwartzandgrubenniere” by Elizabeth Rose; “Leaf Coneybear” by Matthew Korso; “William Barfee” by Jason Wood; “Marcy Park” by Erin Reinke; “Olive Ostrovsky” by Tamara Cole; “Rona Lisa Perretti” by Hillary Roach; and “Mitch Mahoney” by Jacob Ternyik In this riotous play, an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents (played by an all-adult cast) vie and conspire for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the ’tweeners spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affi rming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; only one speller leaves. Show times are as follows: June 12 and 13 at 7 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee June 14; June 19 and 20 at 7 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee June 21. Tickets are $15 and are available at the FEC box offi ce, or by calling 541-997-1994.
