The Theatre-Goers Book Club's March 2024 play script review is the Tony Award winning musical comedy:
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
The show centers on a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School.
Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally quirky grown-ups.
The discussion of this play will be facilitated by Marilyn Young.
For your convenience a downloadable pdf version of the play is attached:

The Theatre-Goers Book Club, formerly known as the Playscript Readers Club,
reflects the progression this club has made in the last few years.
In addition to the primary focus of reading and analyzing plays, the additional
element of attending a live performance at a local theatre is a great way to share
insights and appreciate all dimensions of the theatre experience.
What a great way to celebrate and support our local theatres!
