THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE Continues at PMCS Blackbox Theater

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is now playing at PowerMac Center Spotlight Blackbox Theater. Performances will run through March 17.

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor.

Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience. 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 a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.

The March 10, 3 pm show of Spelling Bee is for the benefit of Make-A-Wish Philippines. Proceeds from the sales will be used to grant the wish of a wish kid from the foundation. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
