2024-2025 MSJ Theatre Arts Performances
By Bekah Brunstetter
Jane’s trapped in her middle school computer lab playing “The Oregon Trail” for what feels like hours. The game becomes life and rips us back to the trail, 1848, where we travel in a covered wagon with Jane’s great-great-grandmother. As Game moves us, back, forward, and back again, Now-Jane and Then-Jane’s sadnesses are delicately juxtaposed in this play-meets-video-game about depression, Then and Now.
Runs November 7th, 8th, 9th, 15th & 16th, 2024
"The Oregon Trail" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
Music & lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin, conceived by Rebecca Feldman, additional materials by Jay Reiss, originally directed on Broadway by James Lapine
This heartfelt musical comedy follows an eclectic group of six teens who compete 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 "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Eight spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
Runs April 3rd, 4th, 5th, 11th & 12th, 2025
THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
