The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

 The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Each year, the best and brightest across the country gather for spelling bees, and so it is in Putnam County. Six unlikely heroes, each experiencing their own agony of adolescence, learn that winning isn’t everything and losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. This quirky cast of outsiders, for whom the spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time, will charm you with their melodrama, anguish, and joy. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a rollicking good time for everyone both young and old, with energetic musical numbers, audience participation and of course, big words to spell!...

French Film: The Seventh Art - April 3 6:30PM

French Film: The Seventh Art - April 3 6:30PM

For the French, film is considered the seventh art, and this class will present an overview of the entertaining, thought-provoking richness of French and Francophone cinema from the 1930's to the present. In this ongoing series, we'll view films showcasing a variety of directors, actors, genres, and cinematic styles to develop an appreciation of both film and French culture. An ability to speak French is not necessary, as the course will be presented in English and all films are subtitled. This class will interest French speakers, students of French, and film buffs, of course, but also travelers to France (armchair or actual) and anyone interested in general cultural enrichment.

So, put on your beret and allons-y!

 

Dates: Apr. 3, 10, 17, 24, May 1, & 8
