Tickets are now on sale for Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s presentation of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” Show times are Nov. 21, 22, and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 24 at 2;30 p.m.

The show features a fast-paced, wildly funny, and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

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 lives, the tweens 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 a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is a delightful den of comedic genius.

The show is rated PG for some middle school-type humor.
