Play Synopsis: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime, overseen by grownups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.
Roles available: Ms. Peretti – In charge of the spelling bee; Vice Principal Douglas Panch;
Mitch Mahoney – Official Comfort Counselor; Olive Ostroovsky – New spelling be contestant;
William Barfee – Previous year’s finalist; Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre – youngest and
most politically aware contestant; Marcy Park – All around perfect girl; Leaf Coneybear – Home-
schooler and second runner up; Charlito “Chip” Tolentino – Boy scout and winner of last year’s spelling bee; Several smaller roles will be cast.
Additional Info: All performers cast in the production are required to register for the THP 201AA Theatre Production Class (1 credit).
