Penfold Theatre Company presents the Tony Award-winning musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
In Putnam county, a group of high-achieving young students (portrayed by adult actors) have gathered for the spelling bee, an annual highlight of their small community. To these dictionary-devouring youngsters, this is more than a contest. It’s a chance to prove themselves, not just as spellers but as talented individuals, worthy of love and approval––especially from their parents.
This hilarious musical by William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin has a heart for all those who’ve felt they have to be the best just to be good enough.
