Spring Musical Theatre Production: "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee"

April 9 & 10 at 7 p.m., Watson Theater at Coker University

An eclectic group of tweens vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, they spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, "ding" that signals a mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! (At least the losers get a juice box.) Conceived by Rebecca Feldman. Additional Material by Jay Reiss. Music and Lyrics by William Finn. Book by Rachel Sheinkin. Directed by Professor Brian Guidry-LeTraunik. $5 Students/Seniors, $20 General Admission, Free With Coker ID
