10-20 The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. 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 (potentially made-up) 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. Directed by Kristen Searles. Oxford Hills Music and Performing
Arts Association, at the Norway Grange, 15 Whitman Street, Norway. Tickets at The Tribune, 430 Main Street, Norway, or 613-5232. FMI www.ohmpaa.com
