The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Music and lyrics by William Finn. Book by Rachel Sheinkin.

September 24, 25, 30; October 1, & 2 at 8 pm
September 26 & October 3 at 2 pm

The competition is intense. The words are hilarious. Let the spelling begin! The show centers on a fictional spelling bee in Putnam County. Six wiz kids face off in the battle of their lives. Not only do they compete against each other, they will also compete against members of the audience. Three adults help adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane Vice Principal and The Official Comfort Counselor completing his community service. A recent Broadway Tony-award winner and a lot of fun!!

Admission: $10 to $30
