THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
The Bailey Studio
Nanaimo, BC V9T3R6
How to get there
An eclectic group of 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 increasingly discommodious words, hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling error. Only one can leave 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, award-winning work of comedic genius that perfectly encapsulates the rigors of growing up.
