The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Music and Lyrics by William FinnBook by Rachel SheinkinConceived by Rebecca FeldmanAdditional Material by Jay Reiss
Directed by Scott J. SumerakMusic Direction by Joe RosenmayerChoreography by Kelli ClevengerIn collaboration with Ouroboros Theatre Company
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 (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.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials were also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com
