THE SHOW

Middle school is a tough age: not young enough to be a lift child any more, but certainly not mature enough to fit in with the adults – though parents expect us to behave like adults. Putting up with peer pressure, home pressure, and school pressure would make any kid want to throw in the towel. Yet these six Putnam County spellers refuse to do that. They are aching to get away from it all and find a place where they are accepted for being themselves. Frustrations manifest themselves, and even though the spellers are all master of a great vocabulary, they react as “tweeners” with an occasional outburst of cuss words. As outside pressures manage to creep into the bee, they somehow all hold on and remain true to themselves while still growing up a little bit more. – Dianne Bernick, Director
