Triad Pride Acting Company is proud to present the Tony Award-winning musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", opening Aug. 18, 2023. 

The heartfelt musical comedy celebrates the triumphs and tragedies of adolescence as a group of six ragtag pre-teens (all played by adults) compete in a spelling bee. Pandemonium ensues as they vie for the top spot and spell their way to nationals. The high-stakes competition puts each contestant at the mic and in the spotlight as we learn about their hilarious and touching stories.

The musical features six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves. They learn that winning isn’t everything and losing doesn’t necessarily make one a loser,

Performances of  “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” will run in Greensboro on Aug 18th, 19th, 25th, & 26th, 2023 at 8:00 pm and Aug 20th & 27th at 2:00 pm at Congregational United Church of Christ located at 400 W Radiance Drive, Greensboro, NC 27403. Tickets for all performances are $15 and are on sale now at triadprideperformingarts.org, by calling 336-589-6267, or at the door.
