Artistry continues its 2023 Season with THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE next month. Join an eclectic group of six young people as they vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime, sharing laugh-out-loud and sometimes poignant stories that guarantee a one-of-a-kind, musical theater performance that spells F-U-N!

Tyler Michaels King, who received his professional start on the Schneider Theater stage, returns to direct this charming and wildly funny story where spelling champions learn that winning (and losing) isn’t everything. Tyler is joined by music director Raymond Berg and choreographer Stephanie Anne Bertumen,. 

“Spelling Bee has a unique combination of humor and heart,” says Tyler Michaels King. “It’s the kind of show that sneaks up on you— you’re laughing one minute then crying the next, and you’re not quite sure why. The fun gives way to feeling. It’s these types of shows I gravitate to most.”
