Dunham’s fascination with ventriloquism began at

age eight, when his parents gave him a Mortimer Snerd dummy and an accompanying instructional record album.

Driftwood Players25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

A riotous ride, com-plete with audience

participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is delightful musical comedic genius.

An eclectic group of six midpubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life-unaffirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.

An unusual aspect of the show is that audience members are invited on stage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the char-acters. Another amusing aspect is that when asked to use words in a sentence, the official pronouncer gives ridiculous examples.

Six spellers enter; one speller wins. (At least the losers get a juice box.)Date: Friday, April 29 Time: 8:00 p.m. Cost: $20Deadline: Friday, April 15Location: Wade James Theatre, 950 Main St., EdmondsEvent Coordinator: Leigh Ford, 425-750-2781, leigh.a.ford@boeing.comInstructions: Send a check payable to BMA and a self-addressed, stamped business envelope to Leigh Ford, 8123 137th Ave. SE, Snohomish, WA 98290.
