The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
The Newington Children's Theatre Company is proud to present their college/teen production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, July 15-17. Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
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 life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Saturday and Sunday at 2pm. Tickets are $15 for adults ($17 at the door) and $12 for seniors, students and children ($15 at the door). NCTC Performing Arts Theatre, 743 North Mountain Road, Newington, CT 06111. 860.666.NCTC - www.NCTCArts.org
