Event
The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee
Amherst Regional High School presents this 2005 Tony and Drama Desk Award-Winning musical comedy in an innovative staging. Upon your arrival, you be welcomed into the lobby and auditorium (and other locations, if you're keen...) of Putnam County Middle School as fellow community members attending this special anniversary edition of their beloved Spelling Bee.
Continuing our tradition of investing deeply in student leadership at all levels of the show, Spelling Bee is performed, designed, played and produced by over 130 ARHS students. A warm, silly and immersive production, you'll find all that you'd hope for from a winsome Broadway musical, along with spaces to explore and in-character performances before curtain and during intermission. And - each night - a new contingent of volunteer audience spellers invited to join us as competitors in the Bee.
A Note on Content:
A largely family-friendly show, the musical does have very occasional blips of swearing - typically for comic effect. And, as Spelling Bee is invested in the travails of early adolescence, one song early in Act II ("My Unfortunate Erection") might be inappropriate for younger audiences in terms of topic, although the lyrics are PG-rated. A family-friendly matinee version of the show will be performed on Saturday, March 10 at 2:00 that will use the official "B" lyrics ("My Unfortunate Problem") instead.
