“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” concludes this weekend on stage at the Fountain Hills Theater.

The play follows six awkward adolescents (played by eight adults and one adolescent) through their daunting and hilarious championship quest.

Along the way, they learn that there is more to life than winning a trophy.
