Those who can win spelling bees do. Those who can’t live through their over-achieving children, making them memorize multisyllabic words over flashcards night and day in the hopes of achieving academic success. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a Tony-winning improv sketch turned musical that portrays the ridiculous world of competitive spelling. Six adult actors will channel their inner anxious teens in this one-act play of power, puberty, and silent P’s. Audience members be warned: each show will recruit four volunteers to take to the stage as guest spellers.
