First Look at THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE At Three Brothers Theatre

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor.

By:

Three Brothers Theatre is presenting the musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, September 2 through 24, 2022. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious look at a group of elementary school students on the cusp of adolescence, their hopes, their dreams, and their angst as they compete for a slot in the National Spelling Bee. Overseen by adults still stuck in adolescence themselves, they sing their stories, utilize unique spelling techniques, and learn that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.

Get a first look at the production below!

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.
