UPPER SCHOOL FALL MUSICAL: THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

SIX SPELLERS ENTER. ONLY ONE WILL WIN. WHO WILL IT BE?
Metairie Park Country Day School presents our fall musical production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. As six spellers compete to advance to the National Spelling Bee, they discover that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't mean you're a loser. Through the rounds of the bee, they navigate the various challenges of spelling, puberty, and friendship. 

The production runs November 4 - 14, 2022, and tickets are available at mpcdsdrama.ludus.com. All tickets are $10. 

*MATURE CONTENT WARNING: Though this is a funny, sweet, and heartfelt show with a strong positive message, please be advised that it also has some themes and language, especially concerning puberty, that may be challenging for younger audience members.
