Theatre – 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at CSI

Additional Information

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C! That's the only way to spell this musical comedy. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is the story of how six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. This hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award-winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time. This will be presented September 11, 12, and 13, 2014 at 7:30 pm and a matinee performance Saturday September 13 at 2:30pm at the CSI Fine Arts Theatre. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or online at www.ratplayers.com (online tickets are subject to a $ .50 convenience fee).
