Fall Musical - "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"

Six kids face off in the battle of their lives. The competition is intense. The words are outrageous. Let the spelling (and the singing) begin! Three adults adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane Vice Principal and The Official Comfort Counselor completing his community service to the State of New York. Both tender and sardonic, this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical of overachievers’ angst brings you inside the spelling championship to end them all.

Nov 10th:    12 Noon free preview to elementary students and senior citizens
Nov 11th, 12th, 13th:  7:30 performance, tickets available at the door ($10 adults / $8 students).
