    Can you spell “Fun”? ... The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is definitely all about FUN.  In this hilarious musical-comedy a group of quirky adolescents compete in a middle school spelling bee, run by some equally off-center grown-ups. These six overachievers come face-to-face with all their insecurities, and puberty, while under pressure to spell words like “crepuscule” correctly. Together, at a time in life when every decision seems so important, these six exceptional students learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.

    Can you use “Awards” in a sentence? … the 2005 Broadway production of Spelling Bee, directed by James Lapine, was nominated for six and won two Tony Awards!

    Can you give me the definition of “Talented"? … Director David Norman and Musical Director Jonas, the creative team that brought The Full Monty and Sweet Charity to the Old Opera House stage, have assembled a truly talented cast, including Shona Gardner, DC Cathro, Chad Everett Mullenix, Christine Galante, Keith Shifflett, Mark Adelsberger, Annelyse Haislip, Charles Johnson and Marissa Kulp.

    Now don’t leave your thinking cap at home, because you too may be asked to participate in this spelling bee! Four lucky spellers will be selected from the audience, during each performance, and asked to participate. Who knows, you just might win the spelling bee and be crowned champion.

    Rated PG14 due to some adult themes and language
