Davidson Community Players: “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”

June 25 @ 8:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

Armour Street Theater

Book by Rachel Sheinkin, Music and Lyrics By William Finn

This Tony Award winner has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents, played by ADULTS, vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. (Performance dates/times: June 25, 26, July 1, 2, 3 @ 8:00 p.m. and July 3 @ 2:00 p.m. A performance at 2:00 p.m. on June 27 is sold out.)

Walk With A Doc

Town Green

Please join Kristy Schiano of Mindful Movement Center to learn practical, proven and easily adoptable things you can do to improve your balance and mobility to help prevent tripping and falls. In this Walk with a Doc, not only will we explore how yoga can be used as a preventative and rehabilitative modality, we will also do a mindful walk to practice some of the techniques we will share. More and more health care systems across the globe are focusing efforts on prevention by including a broad range of preventative services within the coverage offered to citizens, including yoga. This reduces health care costs and has been found to increase the overall well-being of citizens

Secret Society of Crafters – Hearts on Fiber

June 27 @ 10:00 a.m.

208 South Main Street

Crafting is more fun with other people, which is why we created the “Secret” Society of Crafters. The title says “secret,” but we’re a not-so-secret, not-so-exclusive group who meets to stitch, craft, crochet, knit, sit and talk. We may or may not talk about knitting, yarn bombing, hand dying, or the latest stitch. We may even talk about world domination. You won’t know unless you come. Connect with crafters in the area, find the motivation to pick up that project again, and benefit from the wisdom of a passionate crafting group. The “Secret” Society of Crafters meets outside the store every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:00 AM weather permitting. We hope to see you there!

WDAV Noteworthy Concert – Quisol

June 30 @ 7:30 p.m.

Facebook Live at facebook.com/wdavclassical

Joseph Samuel Quisol, M.Ed. is an artist, educator, and organizer with roots in the Philippines and Puerto Rico. After getting onto the stage in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, Quisol began recording original music, producing DIY shows and building community through music wherever he went. NoteWorthy is a concert series that pairs gifted Black and brown artists from Charlotte’s music scene with classically trained musicians. It’s what happens when jazz, soul, Latin, rock, hip-hop, pop, and R&B meet classical. Through this project, WDAV and FAIR PLAY aim to break down cultural divisions among music lovers by centering the contributions of musicians of color. NoteWorthy was awarded a Cultural Vision Grant by the Arts and Science Council.

Trivia Night at Summit

July 1 @ 7 p.m. –

We’re so excited to have in-person trivia back again! In order to host trivia safely, we are going to have y’all sign up on this form so we can set up tables + chairs appropriately distanced from other teams. Here’s the deal:
1. You must register in advance, otherwise we can’t guarantee your team a seat.
2. Maximum of 6 people allowed on a team
3. We will have a maximum of 14 teams for the evening.
4. We will offer table service, so you don’t have to go inside. You are welcome to place orders inside as well, but we’re adding the option to limit the amount of contact/movement you have to make.
5. Honor system for scoring – meaning you will score your own sheets so there isn’t a transfer of paper/germs from table-to-table.
6. Trivia will start at 7pm!
Please email [email protected] with any questions!!
