25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee-

Ages 13 and up

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.

 

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created 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 where they can stand out and fit in at the same time

 

Registration is first come first serve. Auditions will take place on the first rehearsal. Please be prepared to sing 16 bars of any song from musical theater repertoire. Upbeat, contemporary songs are preferable. Bring sheet music. There will also be a short dance audition so that we can see how you move, so wear jazz shoes or sneakers and loose clothes. We will teach you the dance combination at the audition.

Tuition: $600

Sundays 12pm – 5pm

January 24 – April 25

Performances: April 30, May 1, 7, and 8
