Muskogee Little Theatre opens their August Musical Comedy, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE this Friday, August 6th at 8:00 p.m..

Advance tickets may be purchased or reserved at Soundworld, 123 E. Okmulgee, 918-683-4901. Ticket prices are $14 for adults and $10 for students. Production dates are August 6, 7, 8 & August 12, 13, 14. Curtain is 8:00 p.m. except Sunday, August 8 at 2:00 p.m.

Six kids face off in the battle of their lives. The competition is intense. The words are outrageous. Let the spelling (and the singing) begin! Three adults adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a midly insane Vice Principle and The Official Comfort Councilor completing his community service to the State of New York. Both tender and sardonic, this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical of overachievers angst brings you inside the spelling championship to end them all. This show is recommended for all ages.

Before every performance of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE four audience volunteers are recruited to participate on-stage as guest spellers. Each new foursome guarantees a new set of hilarious and unexpected experiences. The willing contestants are chosen through pre-show lobby interviews and questionaire.

Potential guest spellers should arrive at the theatre 45 minutes prior to curtain. The show is co-sponsored by Rotary Club of Muskogee and MyPro's. All productions at Muskogee Little Theatre are presented with the assistance of The Oklahoma Arts Council. For additional information visit www.muskogeelittletheatre.com or call 918-816-0688.
