Conejo Players Theatre Presents "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" July 8-17

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International

Directed by: Sahai Lara

Produced by: Dana Marley-Kolb

PLOT: 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 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. Rated PG-13 for language.

PERFORMANCES: July 8 - July 17, 2022. Friday & Saturday at 8 p.m. Saturday & Sunday at 2 p.m.

LOCATION: Conejo Players Theatre 351 So. Moorpark Rd., Thousand Oaks
