Snider High School Spring Musical
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Nicholas Auditorium
4600 Fairlawn Pass
Fort Wayne, IN 46815
Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time. All seats: $8.00

ONGOING EVENTS:
Men as Caregivers Support Group
2nd and 4th Thursdays monthly, from 6:30-8:00pm
Crescent Avenue United Methodist Church, 1232 Crescent Ave., Fort Wayne, IN 46805
Sponsored by Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana
A group designed for men who find themselves in the role of caregiver for members of their families due to all kinds of traumatic events. It's a fact that men process information and feelings differently than women, so this group will offer a place for men to interact with each other in a way that is most beneficial to them. The facilitator is Pastor Jim Evans, Jr. who conceived of the idea because he is the chief caregiver in his home due to his wife's chronic battle with cancer.
Cancer Services is the local non-profit organization that provides practical resources, emotional support (through client advocacy and support groups) and information to people with cancer and their families. More information about this organization can be found at www.cancer-services.org.
