Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee features an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents who 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! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is absolute comedic genius. The content of this musical involves some adult themes and is considered PG-13.

This intensive will be an excellent way to strengthen improvisation, character development, and comedy skills working with a creative team that is simply incredible!

There are limited spots in this intensive. Payment is due at time of registration. Registration will close when spots fill (or by 5/1/2023, whichever comes first). After registration, participants will be instructed to provide audition materials for casting.
