25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at South County Theatre

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious and heartwarming musical that follows six delightfully quirky middle school students as they compete for the coveted spelling bee championship. Along the way, audiences get a glimpse into each speller’s hopes, fears, and unique personalities through clever songs, laugh-out-loud moments, and touching stories of growing up.

Filled with witty humor, unforgettable characters, and plenty of audience interaction, this Tony Award-winning musical is a celebration of finding confidence, embracing what makes us different, and discovering that sometimes winning isn’t everything.

Content Advisory: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee contains some strong language, mature humor, and adult themes. While the show centers on middle school students, it is written for teen and adult audiences. Parental discretion is advised when bringing young children.
