It may not be as old as the National Spelling Bee, but Tony and Drama Desk award-winner, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," has been charming audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor since its Broadway debut in 2005.
Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
Directed by Beau Wade, with musical direction by Laniece Fagundes, City Repertory Theatre’s production features Ethan Fink, Charlotte Fletcher, Kelvin Niebla, Tyler Pate, Andrea Oliveras, Seth Kirk, Mckayla Whiteside, Christi Ana Arnold, Frank Anello, Xavier Torres, Mackinzie Rogan and Savanna Dacosta.
These adult actors play both the middle-schoolers vying for the spelling championship and their supervising adults, all finding their way through life’s difficulties and triumphs.
Performances begin on July 11 and span three weekends in July with Friday and Saturday evening performances on July 11-12, 18-19 and 25-26 at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinees are scheduled for 3 p.m. on July 13, 20 and 27. Tickets are available online at crtpalmcoast.com or by calling the box office at 386-585-9415.
The City Repertory Theatre, located at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, B207, in Palm Coast, is an intimate, immersive live theatre featuring innovative productions.
