The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a one-act musical comedy with music and lyrics by William Finn and a book by Rachel Sheinkin, conceived by Rebecca Feldman with additional material by Jay Reiss. Based on Feldman's improvisational play C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E, it portrays a fictional spelling bee in which six quirky adolescents—played by adult actors—compete under the supervision of three equally offbeat grown-ups.
