May 4, 2021 Clear Space Theatre is setting up the podium and pulling out the dictionaries for its musical, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” opening Friday, May 7. “It’s super exciting to come back to this musical, as it is quintessentially what makes up the new, contemporary musical! It’s one of those musicals that combines strong characters, great music, and improvisation,” said David Button, Clear Space Theatre artistic director. “There are moments the audience won’t see coming because they can’t see them coming – it’s different every show! You, as an audience member, may even get swept up into the action. Think ‘Avenue Q’ meets ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway’ with a spelling bee!”
