'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee' at the Main Street Theatre Co.

The Sayreville Main Street Theatre Company presents "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

The show will perform at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sunday from Oct. 17 to 25. Tickets are $15 for everyone ages 13 and over, and $12 for children ages 12 and under.

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes, a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

The show has music and lyrics by William Finn, a book by Rachel Sheinkin, and was conceived by Rebecca Feldman, with additional material by Jay Reiss.

The show is directed by Kevin Gunther, musically directed by Teddy Kernizan, and choreographed by Dawn Fulbrook and Sarah Anne Rosner.
