Don't miss the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Valhalla Boathouse
Submitted by paula on Mon, 07/10/2017 - 8:05pm
If you haven't been out to enjoy music and performances at the Valhalla Boathouse Theater yet, this month is the time to do so with a full lineup for all ages.
After watching the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on opening weekend, we highly recommend this fun musical though not appropriate for those under 13). It is a Tony Award-winning musical comedy and even though far from Broadway, the local Lake Tahoe cast made it very entertaining.
