“25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” by Rebecca Feldman, with music and lyrics William Finn, based on the book by Rachel Sheinkin, follows six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves. Along their journey they learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.

“25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is a hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show’s Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

“25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” will run Friday, Jan. 25, through Feb. 23. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for Adults and $20 for students and seniors. Group rates are available. There is no show Sunday, Feb. 3. Advanced reservations are highly recommended. For tickets, purchase online at www.repeastplayhouse.org or call 661-288-0000. This show is Rated REP-MA and contains some adult situations and language.

The REP is now entering its 9th Season and is delighted to also be featuring the hit comedy, Boeing Boeing, To Kill A Mockingbird, 9 to 5 THE MUSICAL (based on the hit Dolly Parton movie), the adult comedy of manners God of Carnage and Woody Allen’s, Play It Again Sam. Enjoy tremendous savings by becoming a Season Ticket holder. Season tickets are now available online at www.repeastplayhouse.org.
