25th-annual-putnam-county-spelling-bee-logo.jpg

Life has been anything but agreeable at Magnolia Place Assisted Living in the quaint town of Petula, Georgia. The daily grind of bingo and craft activities is not exactly what these sassy seniors had in mind. Our spirited quartet of golden girls - Beatrice, Eaddy, Imogene, and Maude - spice up their conversations with juicy gossip, find themselves caught in the whirlwind of romance, and stumble into a heap of trouble when they unexpectedly take on the role of amateur detectives to crack a dangerous mystery.


Their escapades result in waves of naughty laughter, happy tears, and even a surprising appearance from an Elvis impersonator. Will they unmask the wrongdoer? What has become of Doctor Head? Will Beatrice ever meet her match? One thing is clear – these Four Old Broads aren't your typical grandmothers... or, on second thought, maybe they are!

Alabama Story

Aug 13, 14

Director - Jack Krantz
25th-annual-putnam-county-spelling-bee-logo.jpg

"Alabama Story" whisks audiences to 1959 America, a Deep South swirling with political tension and social change. This riveting drama comes to life through a defiant librarian, a confrontational senator, and a reunion of childhood friends now navigating societal racial norms.


Emily Wheelock Reed stands as a beacon of bravery, daring to shield a playful children's book, about a white rabbit proposing marriage to a black rabbit, from censorship. Lily and Joshua's poignant reunion beautifully echoes the unity message in the rabbit's tale.


In a vibrant world of political rivalry, star-crossed friendship, and an audacious children's author, "Alabama Story" unfurls a tale brimming with humor, heartbreak, and hope. This compelling narrative, inspired by true events, leaves audiences contemplating the power of unity, courage, and the transformative magic of storytelling.

Prepare for a hilariously heartwarming holiday adventure with "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." Chaos ensues when the notorious Herdman siblings – the town's most mischievous kids – decide to join the annual Christmas pageant.
