The Junior production is Disney’s Little Mermaid Jr which will be performed on August 14 and 15 at 7:00 pm, and August 16 at 2:00 pm, all at the Whallonsburgh Grange. The show is comprised of 22 actors ages 8 through 12. The actors are kids who are all residents of the North Country, including some summer residents, and they range from first time actors, to actors who have been in BRTF for as many as six seasons! The Little Mermaid is the iconic story of a mermaid princess who longs to live above the ocean’s surface, and includes the famous characters Ariel, Sebastian the crab, Prince Eric, and the evil Ursula. The musical includes the famous songs “Under the Sea,” “Part of his World,” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls.”

The Senior production is the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which will be performed on August 7 and 8 at 7:00 pm, and August 9th at 2:00 pm, again all at the Whallonsburgh Grange. This show is comprised of 12 teen actors from our area, including some summer residents. Some of our actors have never performed before, and some have over six years of experience at BRTF! Spelling Bee is a musical comedy depicting a spelling bee and the back stories of the individuals in the bee. It is very humorous, and includes audience participation, but carries a PG rating and may not be suitable for children under 12.
