About the show:
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of high school-aged
overachievers, their hopes, their dreams, and their angst as they compete for a slot in the National Spelling Bee. Overseen by adults still stuck in adolescence themselves, they sing their stories, utilize unique spelling techniques and learn that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.
*PG 13*
