25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM SPELLING BEE to Open 9/13 at Grove Theatre

The Grove Theatre announces the opening of Spelling Bee* on September 13th, under the direction of Gregory Cohen and featuring an extremely talented cast. The competition is intense. The words are hilarious. Let the spelling begin! The show centers around a fictional spelling bee in Putnam County, New York. Six kids face off in the battle of their lives. They compete against each other as well as members of the audience. Three adults help adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane Vice Principal and The Official Comfort Counselor completing his community service to the state of New York.

Running from September 13th through September 29th, performances are on Friday and Saturday at 7:29 pm and Sunday at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $20 and $25 with senior, student and group discounts and can be purchased by calling (909) 920-4343, or by visiting The Grove box office or website at http://www.grovetheatre.com. The Grove Theatre is located at 276 E. Ninth Street, Upland, CA 91786.
