Tickets
Tickets can be purchased online, at our studio, or in person at the box office on show night - depending on availability.
If you require special seating requirements such as wheelchair accessible seating or other requirements please email or follow the link for accessible seating requests next to each show.
For those needing special seating, we will reserve the accessible seat plus one companion. Since we have General Admission for our events, your party will need to find the closest available seat upon entrance into the theater.
Performances begin promptly. Latecomers will be seated at the House Managers discretion. Due to the nature of our performances, we must seat latecomers in the most readily accessible seats. For performances in smaller spaces, such as those in Black Box Theatres, we may be unable to seat late patrons once the show has begun. Latecomers will not be refunded.

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
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 lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to 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.
