learn that winning (and losing) isn't everything. 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 charm and humor.
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of
a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from
their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially
made-up] words hoping to never 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.</span></p>
