The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Stage Director: Bailey Barnard Musical Director/Assistant Director: Jaimee Semsky Producer: Chelsea Bardellini Gaskin

This H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S musical comedy follows 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 a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
