25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee @ Red Curtain (Marysville)

In this popular Broadway musical, 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. At least the losers get a juice box.

Tickets ($23) here.
