J-DAPA is so excited to finally reveal its next TWO theatrical productions, opening between Spring and Summer 2025!
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
✏️🐝 First is The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, opening in April! This Tony-award winning C-O-M-E-D-Y follows six young contestants as they compete against each other in a regional spelling bee and share some hilarious personal anecdotes.
This production will be open to ages 14+, but anyone under the age of 16 must receive permission from a parent to audition and participate due to its mature themes and at-times strong language.
“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com.
Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic
🦡🪄 Second is Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, performing next summer (specific dates will be announced soon)! This 90-minute comedy tells the story of a certain boy wizard’s seven years at a famous magical school… from the perspective of some students who just happened to be there at the same time.
This production will have a minimum audition age of 16 due to its content and language.
“Puffs (One Act Edition)” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
More information about auditions and ticket sales will be available soon! We can’t wait to get started!
