About the Play<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

About the Play<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Called by Time<\/em> the \u201ctheater event of the year,\u201d Mary Zimmerman\u2019s Metamorphoses brings Ovid\u2019s tales to stunning visual life. The play juxtaposes the ancient and the contemporary in both language and image to reflect the variety and persistence of narrative in the face of inevitable change. Nominated for three 2002 Tony Awards, including Best Play. Director Tosha Fowler will be reconceptualizing the play\u2019s large pool setting into a new and fresher take on what has now become an American Classic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
