“THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE”: The fast-paced, phonetic musical comedy “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” the newest production from the Hipp Theatre, focuses on an eclectic group of six young people who compete in the spelling championship of a lifetime.

Complete with audience participation and plenty of effortless improv, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” guarantees a one-of-a-kind, musical theater performance that spells F-U-N!
