New Century Players presents “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” on February 8, 9, 14, 15, and 16 at 7:30pm and on February 10, and 17 at 2:00pm at the Milwaukie High School Blackbox Theater . Six adolescent outsiders 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 make you a loser. 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. This play is winner of the 2005 Tony Award Best Book for a Musical, with five other nominations.
