The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Rust Flexible Theatre. Multiple dates/times are available. Can you spell H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S? Grab your dictionary and join the fun at the quirkiest competition in town. Six socially awkward but highly determined adolescents compete for the spelling championship of a lifetime, overseen by three equally quirky grown-ups. As they spell their way through a series of delightfully obscure words, they share hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, ultimately discovering that winning isn't everything. This Tony Award-winning musical comedy even includes a chance for audience members to step up to the mic and join the Bee! General admission seating. Online ticket prices range $25 - $32.75. Sponsored by Commerce Bank and The City of Cape Girardeau.
