Can you spell P-H-I-L-A-N-T-H-R-O-P-Y ? Company members from Chicago's new Tony Award-winning Broadway musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee earned extra credit in civics class this past Saturday, September 16 to participate in the annual AIDS Run/Walk event benefiting the AIDS Foundation of Chicago.  Spellers and bee staff alike came together Saturday morning, generating over $5000 in pledges for local AIDS organizations in the Chicagoland area.

In the hilariously hip musical comedy, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, six young people in the throes of puberty, 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.

Spelling Bee continues its critically acclaimed open-ended engagement at Chicago's Drury Lane Theatre, located at 175 East Chestnut Street.
