The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

By William Finn

Directed by Jenn Stewart / Music Director John-Stuart Fauquet

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a hip musical comedy which follows six young people in the throes of puberty, who are overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, as they learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. At each performance, four audience volunteers are selected and invited on stage to participate in the Bee, making each performance unique.

Produced by UW-Madison at Mitchell Theatre, 821 University Ave, Madison

Performances: July 8-31, 2010
