An eclectic group of six contestants vie 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, 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. “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is directed and choreographed by award-winning Guest Artist Terry Berliner. Her work has been seen on-and-off-Broadway, in regional theatres and universities across the country. The cast and designers are students from the Department of Theatre and Dance. THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com UB Theatre and Dance gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Fox Run at Orchard Park, an official contributing sponsor of the 2023-2023 season.
