Dancin’ Fool: A WCSPA Dance Concert

February 27th and 28th, 2026

WCS Performing Arts Center

For the first time in a generation, our students will stretch their abilities as well as their bodies.  Music will fill the house of the PAC in the newest iteration of a past WCSPA tradition: the dance concert. Dancin’ Fool is a freshly conceived and student-choreographed dance concert that highlights all levels of ability and many styles of dance!

It’s showtime at the Copacabana— a dazzling, nightclub-style revue complete with feathers, sparkles, jazz and swing, dramatic lighting, live music vibes, and bold characters. The concert gives us a world of nightlife glam, performance, and student creativity that is like nothing else this season.

West Side Story

May 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2026

WCS Performing Arts Center

To close our season, WCSPA will take on one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Widely regarded as among the best musical scores ever written, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to New York City in 1957 as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching, and relevant musical dramas of our time.

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

November 20-22, 2025

Jonathan Gillespie Studio Theatre

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee follows an eclectic group of mid-pubescents as they vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee candidly discloses the 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 “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Only one speller can win it all. At least the losers get a juice box.

Content warning: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee includes mild language, sexually suggestive humor, and references to sensitive topics like family issues and anxiety. Parental discretion is advised for younger audiences.
