Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee takes us on a journey with an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents as they participate in the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.”
Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

This explosive play body slams its way into the world of professional wrestling, where larger-than-life personas and real-world politics collide. At the heart of the story is Macedonio “Mace” Guerra, a lifelong wrestling fan turned “jobber,” paid to lose in the ring to make the bigger stars look good. But when Mace teams up with Vigneshwar Paduar, a fast-talking Brooklynite of Indian descent, the wrestling execs craft a controversial narrative, casting them as “terrorists.” Mace and Vigneshwar, however, are determined to flip the script—pushing their characters to the extreme to expose the unspoken racism and deep-rooted politics within the industry.
Winner of the 2011 Obie Award for Best New American Play, the 2008 National Latino Playwriting Award, and a finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity is a high-octane, thought-provoking satire that leaves everything on the mat, delivering a powerful punch of humor, courage, and social commentary.
Content Disclaimer: The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity contains mature subject matter that may be activating for some audience members. This play uses strong language, simulated violence/fighting, racial stereotypes, flashing lights and haze effects.
