Get out your dictionaries! The Tony Award winning musical comedy, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee - one of Broadway's most buzzed about hits - comes to the Open Air Theatre stage for one weekend with performances on Friday, August 1, Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 at 7:30 pm.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hip musical comedy following six young people in the throes of puberty. Set in a school gymnasium, the musical takes a hilarious and heartwarming look at the pressures of growing up through the eyes of quirky yet lovable characters competing for the title of spelling bee champ. The students, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.

At every show, four audience volunteers are selected and invited on stage to participate in the Bee, making each performance unique. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is recommended for theatergoers 13 and over.

The Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will be performed on Friday, August 1, Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children (ages 12 and under). Tickets can always be purchased at the Open Air Theatre Box Office on half-hour prior to the performance.
