The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will feature Concord residents Nicole Albanese, Nikki Bott, Mary Goode, Elana Israel, Taylor Winn, and Alec Yamartino. The show includes a score by Tony Award winner William Finn (Falsettos, A New Brain, Little Miss Sunshine) and a Tony Award-winning book by Rachel Sheinkin.

This hilarious musical chronicles six young outsiders in the throes of puberty who learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. Overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, these quirky overachievers learn that a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time!

The cast of 17 is comprised of students in grades 8 through 12, and it is directed by Ryan MacPherson with music direction by Ben Oehlkers and choreography by Jackie Theoharis. Concord resident and Emmy Award winner Kelly Hanley Goode is the production stage manager, and Catherine Goode is the assistant stage manager.

Some subject matter may be inappropriate for children under the age of 13. 

Tickets ($15-$20) may be purchased by visiting www.ACTS1.org or by calling 781-899-4467. Group discounts are available; interested parties should email idpactsmail@aol.com.
