THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, a heartfelt Tony-Award winning musical, follows a group of wonderfully unique and impassioned adolescents as they compete for the spelling bee championship. It’s a joyful night of comedy, quirkiness, and fun tap-your-foot songs. Chicago Centerstage calls the show “utterly hilarious, surprisingly warm, and almost criminally entertaining.”
Director Kim Tucker, a Stockton University adjunct professor with a strong background in education and theater, is excited to be working on her second show with Fool Moon Theatre after stage managing last summer’s production of GODSPELL. “I’m thrilled to be working with such an incredibly talented cast and music director,” she said. Rob Tucker, Kim’s husband, is the Music Director for the Margate Community Church, and was the music director of Fool Moon Theatre’s GODSPELL.
The talented cast, comprised of Fool Moon veterans and outstanding performers new to the Fool Moon stage, includes Michael Moore, Kate Read, Mike Palmreuter, Joey Mangum, Nate Ginet, Celine Fleenor, Chikita Wallace, Gary Poetsch, and Rosanna Consalvo Sarto.
THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is the second show in Fool Moon Theatre’s 2023 season. The wacky and mysterious CLUE will open in September. And back by popular demand THE CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA will hit the boards in December.
