<div class="yiv3915296922MsoSubtitle">OVERVIEW</div>
<div class="yiv3915296922MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;">The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,</span> commonly referred to as "Spelling Bee", is a musical
comedy directed by Grace McCarthy with Mentor Director, Michael C. Mensching.
The show centers on 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.<span> </span>An
unusual aspect of the show is that four real audience members are invited on
stage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the six young characters. <span> </span>Music and madcap comedy reign in this funny
and heartwarming tale.</div>
