Photos: First look at Worthington Community Theatre’s THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will run from Apr. 25 - May 4, 2025.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee follows an unusual group of kids as they nervously make their way through a local spelling bee. While candidly revealing hilarious and heartfelt anecdotes from their home lives, these kids spell their way through a series of increasingly difficult words. The audience is invited to participate in the bee alongside the spellers, creating a unique show experience that explores the struggles of navigating adolescence, the desire to fit in, and the insurmountable pressure to be a winner and especially NOT a loser. While it is a comedy about adolescence, it also explores some themes that may be too mature for younger audiences. Parental guidance is strongly advised.
