“Where should we begin? The best spellers don’t necessarily win.”
Six adolescents, hundreds of letters, and one district champion – welcome to the most important night of the year.
At the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a group of passionate middle schoolers compete for the chance to prove to the world (and themselves) that the things that make them different are the things that make them winners – and maybe learn a little more about themselves along the way.
A deeply heartfelt and deliciously whimsical comedy, Spelling Bee explores the awkwardness of adolescence, the pressures of perfectionism, and the joy of finding community in the things that make us different.
Featuring a wacky improvised Spelling Bee that includes real audience participants, and tied together by a score from the legendary William Finn (Falsettos, A New Brain), Spelling Bee will take you right back to your sixth grade classroom and remind you that there’s more to life than winning the trophy.
