The Yeomen of the Guard, or The Merry Man and His Maid
Colonel Fairfax is under sentence of death, falsely charged with sorcery, because Lieutenant Cholmondoley wants his property. Sergeant Meryll’s daughter, Phoebe, loves Fairfax from afar and wants her father to figure out a way to rescue Fairfax from the axe. The Lieutenant needs to make sure Fairfax is married, to someone who can’t inherit his money, before his execution. Point and Elsie come into town with their fellow Traveling Players. Elsie needs money to pay for her dying mother’s medications and Point, in love with Elsie, encourages her to take the Lieutenant’s offer of money to be blindfolded and marry Fairfax, due to be executed the next day. When Fairfax escapes suddenly everything is up in the air. Not the usual topsy turvy fair from Gilbert & Sullivan. Beautiful music and a complicated plot with a surprise ending.

    Hi Cary, Great website! Now, I can finally find all our local theater shows at a glance. “Spelling Bee” opened at Moorpark last night. I didn’t see it on your calender. I will probably be going tomorrow night and next weekend!! I’m sure you can get an interview from Ryan, before he becomes to famous! He will be attending UC Irvine this fall.
    Hope to see you their!

      Hi Sandy!
      Yes, thanks for the info. I would love to talk to Ryan about the show and feature him on the site. We also want to keep in touch with all of our VC alums to find out what they’re up to out in the “real world” of “the Thee-Uh-Tuh.”

    A key or hotlink to the symbols on the calendar would be helpful

      The initials refer to the name of the theater company, which is identified if you click on the show title. There are no other symbols – thanks for your comment!

      There are currently no productions of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” scheduled, but stay tuned to this page because one will certainly pop up before long.
