The Artists of Concordia Theatre (A.C.T.) presents “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” with music and lyrics by William Finn, with a book written by Rachel Sheinkin, conceived by Rebecca Feldman, with additional material by Jay Reiss.

This hilarious and heartfelt Tony Award-winning musical follows an eclectic group of adolescents as they compete for the spelling bee championship.

A.C.T.’s production is directed by Mark Bernstein, with musical direction by Emily Turner.
