Buzz into Broadway's laugh‑out‑loud showdown!
Oct. 21 – Nov. 2 • The Hobby Center
Theatre Under The Stars kicks off the season with a brand-new production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, directed and choreographed by Dan Knechtges—returning to this hilarious hit after choreographing its original Broadway run!
This fast-paced musical comedy follows six quirky kids (played by adults) as they compete for glory in a cutthroat spelling showdown. Packed with improv, audience participation, and heartfelt surprises, the Bee is both laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly touching.
Each night, four audience members join the cast live onstage. Will it be you? Don’t miss the show that proves winning isn’t everything—and growing up is its own kind of spelling test.
