Photo Flash: Beck Center Presents the 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

Six adolescent outsiders learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. Cheer on this quirky yet charming cast of characters for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time. Gather your friends and show off your O-R-T-H-O-G-R-A-P-H-I-C abilities! A few lucky audience members will be selected at each performance to join the cast onstage to be a part of the show as a spelling bee contestant.

Spelling Bee opens March 26 and runs through April 25. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. There is no performance on Sunday, April 4. A special adult version of the show will be performed Saturday, April 24 at 11 p.m.

Tickets are $28 for adults, $25 for seniors (65 and older), $17 for students (with valid ID), and $10 for children (12 and under). An additional $3 service fee per ticket is applied at the time of purchase. Group discounts are available for parties of 13 or more.
