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.
