PORT ST. LUCIE \u2014 The Tony award winning musical comedy,\u00a0\u201cThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee\u201d is coming to Treasure Coast Theatre.<\/p>\n
Considered a delightful den of comedic genius, the musical\u00a0tells the story of six mid-pubescents as they vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime.<\/p>\n
The tweens, all played by adults, disclose hysterical and moving stories from their home lives, as they spell their way through a series of vexing words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming ding of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.<\/p>\n
Whether you were a robotics nerd or the captain of the cheerleading squad, we can all relate to middle school angst. Chances are you will recognize one of the six characters in yourself: the perfectionist, the loner, the kid whose parents are unavailable, the imposter, the sensitive one, and the overachiever.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee\u201d\u00a0includes audience participation. Four lucky audience members will have the chance to get on stage and participate in the bee.<\/p>\n
Winner of two Tony Awards and three Drama Desk Awards,\u00a0\u201cThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee\u201d\u00a0features a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n
The show includes mature language and content, so it is not suitable for all audiences.<\/p>\n
This staging by Treasure Coast Theatre is directed by Heidi Condon and stars local actors Libbie Baylinson; Charles Caloia; Ian Hodges; Jessica Lesko; Aaron Pelc; Star Reed; Chris Damone; Mark Nixon; and Sharon Owens.<\/p>\n
