25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

April 30-May 16, 2021 Mainstage

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 words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee causes audiences to fall in love, both with the show itself and its “perspicacious,” “jocular,” and “effervescent” spellers. Music by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin. Directed by Jay Bixler with music directed by Tina Buran.

This show contains language and themes which are intended for mature audiences only.
