The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Town Hall Theatre

Putnam Valley Middle School is hosting the county spelling finals. Six quirky adolescents compete in a spelling bee run by three equally quirky grown-ups. Spelling Bee is a hit musical about the unlikeliest of heroes: an eccentric yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Bee is riotous ride, complete with audience participation. Fast-paced, wildly funny and heartwarming, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
