“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” at The Wilton Playshop

The Wilton Playshop will open its 86th season with The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The tale of several socially awkward tweens (played by adults) finding joy, heartache and a purpose in competing at the regional spelling bee features a score by William Finn and a book by Rachel Sheinkin.

Directed by Al Recchia with musical direction by Ben McCormack, the show will run from Oct. 27-Nov. 11, 2023. A wild and fun ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful comedy not to be missed.
