Introducing 

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

 presented by Colorado College’s Music Theatre program

through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI)
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee 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 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.
Nov. 10-11, 6:30 p.m., and Nov. 12, 2:30 p.m.

Faculty Spotlight…Liliana Carrizo!
The students of the Block 2’s class Musical Tapestries of the American Southwest were treated to a trip to New Mexico where leading faculty and professor Liliana Carrizo grew up. Building upon her existing relationships with Indigenous, Nuevomexicano/a, Jewish, and Arab immigrants who shared their homes, food, stories, art, and experiences with the students, Professor Carrizo facilitated opportunities for the students to cultivate their own meaningful relationships. It was impressed upon them that in today’s ethnographic and anthropological academic environment, it’s more important than ever to ensure that the exchange of cultural knowledge is attuned to issues of power and privilege, and based in reciprocity and trust.
This testament is the overarching focus for Carrizo’s sabbatical project next semester, which is to complete her book Encounters with Invisible Songs: Sounding Testimony and Intermusical Remembrance in Iraqi Biographical Songs. Having grown up in an Iraqi Jewish household, Carrizo discovered that her family, along with others, had been safeguarding songs tied to the hardships Iraqi Jews experienced during the migration and cultural relocation to Israel in the mid-twentieth century. These biographical songs of music history were only sung in secrecy by elders, away from social and political criticism. In time, the songs fell victim to the eventual renationalization of Iraqi Jews into Israeli society when later generations no longer improvised these songs in the same meaningful way. The apparent mystery surrounding these songs pulled at Carrizo’s curiosity. She hopes that her book will tell the story of how these songs have allowed “for the articulation and maintenance of alternative life histories in defiance of ethno-nationalist polarization.”
Carrizo’s unique position on this sensitive subject is advantageous as she is directly tied to the culture. But how might other ethnographers outside of a culture approach their studies respectfully? How did the students in her New Mexico class eventually create a mutual exchange with the guest artists who worked with them? Their final project was to create an artistic expression of how their short journey to New Mexico personally impacted their lives. Students gifted artwork, songs, and other forms of expression with the families and artists they met that were truly beautiful and profound. Carrizo explains that “through song, individuals adopt multiple perspectives in narrating major life events.” Her influence on the students at Colorado College, and the wider ethnomusicology community, will continue to make a lasting impression for years to come. We wish her well in her continued research and will be watching out for her completed book in the future!
