THE SPELLERS ARE BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Two years ago, Havre de Grace was introduced to spellers Barfee, Coneybear, Schwarzy, Olive, Chip, and Marcy, along with adults Rona, Panch, and Mitch. Well, due to their popularity and the extraordinary reception for "The Bee," Tidewater is bringing them back for another run, most likely the entire hysterical original cast!

What's it all about? Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. THE 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.
