Hippodrome presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

  • When: Sunday, July 7, 2024,  2:00 pm
  • Location: Hippodrome Theatre, 25 SE 2nd Place, Gainesville FL 32601
  • Cost: $10-$30

This fast-paced, phonetic musical comedy will undoubtedly bring you to your feet! Join an eclectic group of six young people who compete in 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 “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Eight spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
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!
