The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Conceived by Rebecca Feldman, Additional Material by Jay Reiss

Music and Lyrcis by Willam Finn

Book by Rachel Sheinkin

This production is intended for mature audiences only.  

An ecletic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories about  their lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves. At least the losers get a juice box.
