DESCRIPTION OF SHOW:

This is JD Theatricals Production produced in Collaboration with the Long Beach Playhouse

This heartfelt musical comedy follows an eclectic group of  “tweens” who compete for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, they spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Eight spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. Produced by JD Theatricals in collaboration with the Long Beach Playhouse.
