THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
In this critically-acclaimed musical, a tuneful menagerie of misfit angst-ridden overachievers, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, compete in the Spelling Bee and learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.
With audience volunteers recruited to participate as guest spellers, every show is guaranteed to be as unique as the one before it.

BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE
by Leonard Gershe
Songwriter Don Baker, blind since birth, wants his own apartment, free from his over-protective mother. He befriends hippie actress Jill, who wants to live a life free of commitment and responsibility. Don’s mother wants to bring her son home. Don's dreams of independence, his mother’s hopes for his future, and Jill's view of love and relationships all collide in one day, as all three are forced to face their own fears. This touching 1969 comedy combines humour and heart, and was one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. In the early 70’s, it was adapted into a popular movie, with Goldie Hawn in her first starring role.
