The creators of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee are putting on a live adult Bee as a fundraiser for the Micheltorena and Hilltop Elementary Schools. Come see real community parents and teachers go head-to-head for first place as a panel of professional improvisors judge and provide commentary. The event begins with a cocktail hour and will feature an intermission. Proceeds go to enriching the Micheltorena and Hilltop schools!
All of the spellers are actual members of the school communities who have spent weeks raising money to buy "cheats" as they compete for first place. The panel of judges and officials are professional writers, comedians and improvisers.
Come see what Mother Jones Magazine called "a farcical linguistic competition slash comedy show that held the audience in states of belly-clutching laughter", and help raise money for a great cause!
