The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Metropolis School of the Performing Arts Presents its High School Production: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Music and Lyrics by William Finn – Book by Rachel Sheinkin – Conceived by Rebecca Feldman

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! At least the losers get a juice box.

Come see our high school students in this hilarious full-length musical! Performances will be held in the theatre.

In accordance with the CDC’s recent recommendation of universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status, Metropolis will require all audience members to be masked while attending our upcoming high school production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. 

This is show is recommended for ages 13+
