Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
New Light Theatre brings the poignant pandemonium of the Tony Award winning musical comedy, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, to the Delaware Theatre Company stage. Join six quirky competitors as they vie for the championship title with heart, hilarity, and a few awkward spells.
New Light Theatre is committed to shining a light in the darkness by using each production to raise awareness and support for organizations that deepen our empathy and connection with one another. In accordance with this mission, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE partners with Children and Families First, an organization providing support and services children and their families in Delaware need to thrive.

New Light Theatre will be collecting donations in the lobby for CFF. Visit their table to scan a QR code or drop in a cash donation, and receive a Spelling Bee sticker or bookmark! Donations of new school supplies will also be collected for CFF children returning to school. All new, unused school supplies are welcome.
