The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Stage Dec. 3-5

The popular one-act musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" will be performed by students in the Notre Dame de Namur University Department of Music and Vocal Arts Dec. 3-5 in the Flex Theater.

The show centers around a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally-quirky grown-ups. It was a Tony-winning musical on Broadway.
