TheaterWorks’ immersive production of Spelling Bee
TheaterWorks’ upcoming production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Oct 24–Nov 9, Peoria). This Tony Award-winning musical comedy is already a fan favorite, but our production adds two truly newsworthy twists your audience will love:
Immersive pre-show lobby: From the moment patrons walk in, the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts transforms into Putnam Valley Middle School, with interactive elements, character encounters, and playful surprises before curtain.
Guest Spellers at every performance: Four audience members are invited on stage nightly. Select performances also feature Celebrity Guest Spellers, including Arizona native Sam Primack (who performed the title role in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway in 2022) and KTAR Radio host Bruce St. James.
Spelling Bee is heartwarming, hysterical, and highly participatory, perfect for a feature, segment, or listings spotlight. I’ve attached the full press release with details and promo photo.
