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, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius with fun for the whole family. Come try your hand at spelling and see if YOU can be a champion!

Two performances of The 25th Avenue Putnam County Spelling Bee will be ASL (American Sign Language) interpreted for the deaf and hard of hearing:

• Sunday 11/26
• Friday 12/1

_{The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com}
