THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is the hilarious interactive musical comedy that chronicles the experience of six adolescent overachievers vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show’s Tony Award-winning creative team has crafted 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 on earth where they can both stand out and fit in.

Featuring Latté Da favorite Tod Petersen as Vice Principal Douglas Panch, Kim Kivens at Rona Lisa Peretti, and Brian Frutiger as Mitch Mahoney.

Our talented contestants will be played by Alan Bach (Leaf Coneybear), Cat Brindisi (Olive Ostrovsky), Mary Fox (Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre (i.e., Schwartzy)), Sheena Janson (Marcy Park), Derek Prestly (Chip Tolentino), and Joseph R. Pyfferoen (William Barfee).

Family-friendly performances Sundays at 2 p.m.
Anything goes the rest of the week!
(Wednesday - Saturday at 7:30 p.m.)
