25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BE ~ Adaptation (9 to 16 year olds)
CALLING BOYS & GIRLS FOR OUR SUMMER CAST!
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical comedy about six quirky, middle-schoolers who find themselves competing in a local spelling bee, revealing their personal struggles, family issues, and adolescent awkwardness through hilarious and touching songs as they spell their way to victory (or elimination). The show features an eclectic cast of characters, including overachievers, outcasts, and others, who learn that winning isn't everything as they navigate spelling complex words and confronting their deeper insecurities, with audience participation adding to the chaotic fun. NOTE: Our adaptation has selectively incorporated only the age-appropriate songs and dialogue, ensuring an amazing experience for all ages.
​
With plenty of roles to go around, including featured characters as well as ensemble parts for Spellers, Adjudicators, and more, our adaptation of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has a place for performers of different grade levels, abilities, and experience backgrounds.
