The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Showtimes Thursday, October 16, 7:15pm Friday, October 17, 7:15pm Saturday, October 18, 2:15pm & 7:15pm Sunday, October 19, 1:15pm & 6:15pm Synopsis 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 a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. Credits Conceived by Rebecca Feldman Additional Material by Jay Reiss Music and Lyrics by William Finn Book by Rachel Sheinkin Director Peyton Churchwell Audition Grades 8-12 Callbacks Performances October 16-19 at Willow Bend Center of the Arts, Starcatchers Theatre Ticket Prices $13 in advance, $15 starting October 13, $25 front row Suggested Audience Age 13+
