“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The six young people in the throes of puberty are overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves. They learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.

The six students competing in the bee are Olive Ostrovsky, mixed belt/soprano; William Barfee, tenor; Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre, soprano; Marcy Park, soprano/mezzo-soprano; Leaf Coneybear, baritenor; and Chip Tolentino, tenor. Other characters are spelling bee moderator Rona Lisa Peretti, soprano; Douglas Panch, baritone, a vice principal and spelling bee judge; and Mitch Mahoney, tenor, an ex-convict who is the “official comfort counselor.”

Show dates are April 20-29. Paul G. Caron is the director. For more information, call 783-0958 or visit www.laclt.com.
