The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

St. Paul’s School Theater Company Presents:

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 lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

Performances are in Memorial Hall Theater on The St. Paul’s School campus in Concord, NH.

This show is Rated PG.

Performance Dates and Times: Friday, May 19th and Saturday, May 20th at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 21st at 2:00 p.m.

Admission is FREE, though you must reserve tickets by calling the Box Office; 603-229-4690

Though there are no COVID restrictions for the performances we highly suggest that if you are ‘at risk’ that you wear a mask.

Memorial Hall at St. Paul's School
