JRL Productions Presents: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Dante Hall! Join a quirky, smart-mouthed group of grade-schoolers as they navigate the pitfalls and pressures of the county spelling bee. For some of the spellers, the stakes are much higher than simply winning a school competition. The night is further complicated by the simple fact that, sometimes, "life is random and unfair." The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is presented by a special agreement with Music Theatre International.
"Spelling Bee" features music & lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin, and is directed by Rosemary Selah.
Tickets available at www.dantehallstockton.org or at the box office: (609) 626-3890. Discounted rates available for Stockton University students, senior citizens, and NJEA members.
