The cast and crew of the production have been working hard the past month to prepare for their performance. <br> <br>Director Victoria Frederickson, a sophomore English education major, gave some insight on the production. <br> <br>One unique aspect of the musical is the random audience participation. Each show will be different with different audience members participating. <br> <br>\u201cIt has been very interesting, trying to find a balance between comedy and making sure the volunteers are comfortable,\u201d Frederickson said. <br> <br>Frederickson decided to allow the actors to improv for many of the songs. <br> <br>\u201cI really just put the trust into the actors, and they have made it incredible,\u201d she said. <br> <br>The show follows the stories of six students as they compete in the county spelling bee. The audience will discover each character\u2019s unique story which creates an overarching theme of belonging. <br> <br>Frederickson believes that the pressures of belonging in the show directly relate to the pressures that LVC students may feel. She hopes that students can make the connection to their current experience at LVC and know that they belong. <br> <br>\u201cEvery person in the cast is incredibly talented,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a really cute and fun show to watch.\u201d <br> <br>\u201cThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee\u201d is playing from Oct. 21-30, and is free to current LVC students. Tickets are available to reserve online through BookTix.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Bella Getz \u201924, staff writer The Wig and Buckle Theater Company is performing \u201cThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.\u201d Insight from the director suggests that this production will create laughter and capture hearts. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/2022\/10\/17\/behind-the-curtain-of-wig-buckles-spelling-bee\/\" title=\"Behind the curtain of Wig and Buckle\u2019s \u201cSpelling Bee\u201d\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8853,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8774","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
