THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE - Starlight Community Theater - April 30 - May 8, 2021

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 will feature two casts - teen and adult - and will be performed at North Point Prep on their outdoor stage. 

Both casts will be directed by Dan Ashlock with musical direction from Elise Kurbat. All COVID safety precautions will be in place for both rehearsals and performances.
