ABOUT THE SHOWS

THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE 

Music and Lyrics by William Finn, Book by Rachel Sheinkin

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.

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM 

by William Shakespeare

Four brawling lovers, caught in a dispute of increasingly magical proportions; a crew of committed mechanicals; and one roguish sprite, hell-bent on wreaking as much havoc as possible… What could possibly go wrong?

Exploding with dramatic poetry, mischief and merriment, this outdoor adventure will kick off your summer with much-needed, and much-deserved fun.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND SAFETY POLICIES

• These shows will be presented OUTDOORS in front of the Richmond Center for Visual Arts in Miller Fountain Plaza, not far from the Gilmore Theatre Complex. Patrons will have to bring their own lawn chairs - you will be on a concrete surface, not grass.
• Patrons will be seated in pods of no more than 6. The pods will be clearly marked and spaced at least 6 feet apart. Seating is general admission and will begin 30 minutes prior to the start of the show. 
• No tickets will be distributed - patrons will simply give their names at the entrance. 

PARKING AND ENTERING:

• Patrons can park in the Miller parking structure or in the outdoor lot located outside of Miller Auditorium.
• Patrons will enter the performance area at Miller Auditorium's main entrance next to the parking structure, by the Richmond Center for Visual Arts.
