The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

expand to view more [+]

The competition is intense. The words are hilarious. Let the spelling begin! The Rice University - Department of Visual and Dramatic Art Theatre Program teams up with Rice Players to present The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Music & Lyrics by William Finn. Book by Rachel Sheinkin. Conceived by Rebecca Feldman. Directed by Paul Hope. Running April 1 through April 9.

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.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst chronicling 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 hit musicals about 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.

Not appropriate for audiences under 16.
