25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

This Tony award winning musical comedy features six adults portraying preteens competing in a spelling bee. While 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. It's a funny and touching ride, complete with audience participation.
