The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Bridge Street Theatre

This years Bridge Street Theatre Summer Youth Musical, featuring an all-student cast and slated for a two-weekend run August 4-14, will be the Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee which tells the story of an eclectic group of sixth-graders engaged in the most cut-throat competition of their young lifetimes. These hapless tweens attempt to spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping against hope not to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming ding of the bell that signals the fact that theyve made a competition-ending mistake. Six finalists enter only one can come out on top! But which one will it be? A riotous roller coaster of a show (complete with audience participation!), The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleasing comic delight!
