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, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. The small cast and unit set make this a perfect option for high schools or community theatres. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite.

Oedipus, the King of Thebes, is determined to save his city from a devastating plague. 

As he searches for the truth behind the curse afflicting the land, he uncovers a shocking mystery about his own past. What begins as a quest for justice becomes a tragic journey of fate, pride, and discovery. 

In this powerful retelling of Oedipus, by Ensemble Youth Theatre, secrets unravel and the line between destiny and choice is tested.

Rita is a bright eyed, working class hairdresser who dreams of breaking free from her mundane and routine life. She signs up to attend an Open University course in Literature and meets Frank, a middle aged disillusioned academic, disappointed writer and somewhat professional drinker.

Even Frank describes himself as “an appalling teacher”, but her sheer zest for life re invigorates him and a journey of rediscovery for both of them begins. Educating Rita is a life affirming, moving and hugely funny play that brings together an unlikely pairing of two worlds in perfect collision.

Willy Russell’s play is a heartwarming timeless British classic that has won the love of audiences for decades.
