Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on June 2-4 and 9-11. Affectionately known as, “Spelling Bee,” this Tony Award winning Broadway musical tells the story of an eclectic group of six tweens hoping to win the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, they spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
Spelling Bee will feature BAAY students ages 13-17. The first weekend of performances on June 2-4 will be held at the New Prospect Theatre. The following weekend on June 9-11 will be held at the BAAY Theatre. Tickets and more information at baay.org.
