THE JERRY HERMAN RING THEATRE 2014-2015 SEASON
25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
An hilarious musical comedy with Music and Lyrics by William Finn, Book by Rachel Sheinkin, Conceived by Rebecca Feldman, & Additional Material by Jay Reiss
September 24- October 4
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul crushing, pout inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. Ages 13+.
PETER AND THE STARCATCHER
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts
