“Can You Spell H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S?”

Huntley High School Presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

HUNTLEY, IL – Under the direction of Nancy Cross, students from Huntley High School are proud to bring one of Broadway’s most buzzed about hits – The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee – to the school’s Performing Arts Center, April 19, 20, 26, and 27 at 7:00 p.m. and April 21 and 27 at 3:00 p.m.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a Tony® Award winning musical comedy. Set in a school gymnasium, it’s a hilarious look at the pressures of growing up through the eyes of six quirky yet lovable young people, from nerdy to angsty, overachieving to popular to outcast, all awkward in some way, coming together in the place where they feel most comfortable: a spelling bee. Spelling Bee tells the tale about growing up, needing approval and acceptance, and learning that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.

Tickets for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee are $5 each and can be purchased online at www.district158.org/pac/home.htm.

Huntley High School is located at 13719 Harmony Road, Huntley, IL 60142. For additional information, contact Nancy Cross at (847) 659-6600.
