The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

May 29 – June 28, 2026 

The Ross Family Theatre at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center

Runtime: 1 hour & 45 minutes with no intermission

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced, hilariously offbeat musical that’s anything but elementary. Featuring a cast of eccentric overachievers, clever songs, and sharp improvisation, this Tony-winning hit is a grown-up laugh-fest with even more heart.

*CONTAINS SOME PG-13 HUMOR
