Creede Rep Presents THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE Thru 8/21

Creede Repertory Theatre opened its forty-fifth season last weekend with the Broadway smash hit, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The show follows six adolescents as they battle for glory in the one place where they have a chance to win, the spelling bee. CRT's stellar cast made audiences gasp with laughter and wish for their own place amongst the loveable, awkward misfits of Putnam County. This Tony award winning show captures the happy-go-lucky spirit of youth and helps to bring out the nerd in all of us!

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will run through August 21. Come see why this Tony award winning musical was called, "W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L" by The Wall Street Journal.
