🐝THANK YOU🐝
On behalf of the entire Foothill Music Theatre family, thank you for making Spelling Bee a W-I-N-N-E-R 🏆
The FMT return of the Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee played for 11 performances at the Lohman Theatre over a three-week run. During that time, with S-I-X sold-out shows, over 1,200 patrons joined us for Putnam County's biggest night of the year — the Bee! Thank you for your ovation-worthy S-U-P-P-O-R-T!
