BAAY Presents: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on June 2-4 and 9-11. Affectionately known as, “Spelling Bee,” this Tony Award winning Broadway musical tells the story of an eclectic group of six tweens hoping to win the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, they spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

Spelling Bee will feature BAAY students ages 13-17. The first weekend of performances on June 2-4 will be held at the New Prospect Theatre. The following weekend on June 9-11 will be held at the BAAY Theatre. Tickets and more information at baay.org.

About BAAY: Founded in 2006, Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth (BAAY) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching children’s lives through the exploration of the arts. We believe that the arts are a basic and essential component of all children’s education. We serve approximately 1400 children ages 4-17 annually in our EduArts and Theatre programs, and provide over $20,000 a year in annual tuition waivers to remove financial barriers to participation. Learn how you can support the sustainability of this work at baay.org/support.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
