Students at Bret Harte Union High School will present the Tony Award–winning musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee next month at the Dr. Elliott A. Smart Performing Arts Center. The wacky musical follows a youth spelling competition from the first word to the last, showcasing memorable contestants, the offbeat adults in charge, and four competitors selected from the audience each show.

Five performances will take place over two weeks, beginning with 7pm shows on Thursday April 16 and Friday April 17. A 2pm matinee will show Saturday April 18, followed by two more 7pm performances on Thursday April 23 and Friday April 24.

In an exciting twist, each show will include four spellers selected to compete from the audience. If attendees are interested in being part of the show, they should fill out the interest form at https://bit.ly/47bKJEL.

The musical addresses cast members navigating puberty and contains some mild language, but two performances—April 18th and 23rd—will include modifications to the script that make these shows accessible to all ages.

The box office will open 45 minutes prior to curtain; seating begins 30 minutes prior. General admission is $12, students and seniors are $5. Cash and card are accepted.
