The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee&nbsp;is a hilarious and heartfelt musical comedy following six quirky spellers competing for the championship of a lifetime. As they tackle increasingly difficult (and sometimes questionable) words, they reveal personal stories that are equal parts funny, awkward, and unexpectedly moving. With a Tony Award-winning book by Rachel Sheinkin and a vibrant score by William Finn, this fast-paced show celebrates individuality, ambition, and the pressure to get it right. Presented by Ekko Performing Arts Society at Bus Stop Theatre August 20 to 29, 2026. Please note that tickets are non-refundable. They can be exchanged for an alternate date if space permits.
