Join us as we head to Palatine Inn first for a self-pay lunch and then cutting Hall for a production of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. 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 loser gets a juice box. Registration deadline is March 8 and refunds will not be issued after the deadline.
