Aurora Arts Theatre is excited to announce the launch of its first-ever "Pay What You Can Performance” on Sunday, August 25, 2024 for its 2:30 pm matinee performance of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. As part of our ongoing commitment to making theatre more accessible to the Coastal Bend community, we are inviting patrons to experience the lively and heartwarming musical at a price that fits their budget.

In these challenging economic times, we recognize the importance of offering everyone the chance to enjoy live theatre, which is why we’re encouraging patrons to pay what they can. While a suggested donation of $5 or more is appreciated, it is not required.

ABOUT THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE MUSICAL
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents compete for the spelling championship of a lifetime. As they spell their way through a series of challenging and possibly invented words, they share hilarious and touching stories from their home lives. Each contestant hopes to avoid the dreaded "ding" of the bell that signals a mistake. While only one will emerge as the champion, the rest will at least leave with a juice box!

This show contains language and themes which are intended for mature audiences only.
