The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Muscial)

With performances by Moraine Valley students, the Acadimic Theatre Department hosts a variety of shows each year after an open audition for the colleges students. The show runs Feb. 24 - March 6 at the John and Angeline Oremus Theater. The selection will be of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee .

From Moraine Valley Website: Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grownups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. This hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicles 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.
