The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Picture
Music & Lyrics by William Finn
Book by Rachel Sheinkin
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
Additional Material by Jay Reiss

​Nov. 14th - 24th, 2019
Fred Thury Studio Theatre, 258 Vanier College
Relaxed & Closed Captioned Performance is Thursday, Nov. 21@ 8 PM


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