About the show:

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter, one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.

Performance Dates:  Nov. 10-11, 7p.m.; Nov. 12, 3p.m. in Packard Concert Hall
Rehearsal Schedule:  TBD
Please prepare:  A 1.5-minute song or excerpt of a song that showcases your singing and storytelling abilities. Bring sheet music in the correct key, double-sided and in a 3-ring binder. Our music director will be playing piano for the auditions.
