New Light Theatre's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee presented by Delaware Theatre Company in Wilmington, DE September 16 - October 4, 2026
New Light Theatre brings the poignant pandemonium of the Tony Award winning musical comedy, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, to the Delaware Theatre Company stage. Join six quirky competitors as they vie for the championship title with heart, hilarity, and a few awkward spells.
New Light Theatre is committed to shining a light in the darkness by using each production to raise awareness and support for organizations that deepen our empathy and connection with one another. In accordance with this mission, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee partners with the Children and Families First, an organization providing support and services children and their families in Delaware need to thrive. To learn more about their work, visit them here.
New Light Theatre is proud to be an ACCESS Card Partner, an initiative launched by Art-Reach. ACCESS is a public initiative that empowers those individuals and families who come from a low-income household, or those with disabilities, to engage with arts and culture in the Greater Philadelphia region at a rate they can afford.
