The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Somewhere in small town America, six misfit children come together at the Putnam Valley Middle School to battle to become the champion of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The goal? A chance to represent the County at the National Spelling Bee Championship in Washington DC! Who will become victorious and who will become victim to the dreaded bell?

This heart-warming musical comedy is filled with the highs and lows of growing up, hilarious and touching personal stories of friendship and family, and the woes of adolescence which creeps ever closer.

Since its Tony Award winning debut on Broadway in 2005, this witty and charming musical has delighted audiences across the globe. With music by two time Tony Award winning William Finn and book by Tony Award winning Rachel Sheinkin, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced and funny delight!

ATG is delighted to be bringing this fabulous show to the community- where there's even a chance for a few select audience volunteers to get up close and personal with the cast and take part in the Bee themselves!
