CAN YOU SPELL F-U-N? 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE COMING TO CHANTICLEERS THEATRE

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.

Led by award winning director Sue Ellen Nelsen, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime.

Come see the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

The Tony Award winning show is coming to life on the stage at Chanticleers Theatre in Castro Valley from May 11th through June 10th.
