25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

There was hardly an open seat on the floor of the Goldstein Auditorium as the First Year Players opened their rendition of “The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” The actors' vibrant performances were the strong point of the single act, two-hour play.

“The Spelling Bee” is about pre-teens, complete with stereotypical personalities, trying to win their county's top spelling competition. It's a musical sprinkled with humor and has been preformed on Broadway, as well as by theater groups all over the world.
