The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Presented by Colorado College Music Department and Colorado College Drama and Dance Department at Colorado College: Packard Hall

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

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.

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!

At least the losers get a juice box
