25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

McLaughlin Theatre Company Presents "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" April 8 - April 16

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.

Show times are April 8 & 9 at 7:30 p.m. and April 10 at 4:00 p.m. at McLaughlin Studio Theatre, 3415 Swetzer Road, Loomis; and April 15 at 6:30 & 9:00 p.m. & April 16 at 4:00 & 7:30 p.m. at the State Theatre, 985 Lincoln Way, Auburn.

Tickets are $15 general and $10 student, and can be purchased at McLaughlin Studios at mtctheatre@att.net or (916) 652-6377, or at the door which opens 30 minutes prior to show time.
