The 25th Annual PutnumCounty Spelling Bee Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grownups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make a loser in this delightful musical comedy. November 11 ~ December 17
The 2012 Series
Broadway Bound 
  Eugene Jerome and his older brother Stanley are young men still living at home in the post-World War II Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The two brothers are working together as a team, struggling to break into the comedy writing business. Their mother Kate keeps the homestead running while everyone else comes and goes—the boys’ grandfather, Kate’s father Ben; their aunt, Kate’s sister Blanche; and their father, Kate’s largely absent husband Jack. At the same time Eugene and Stanley are seeing their careers take off, their parents’ marriage is crumbling. The family comedy and family drama collide when the sons use the situation at home as fodder for their first big break in radio, an experimental comedy showcase to develop new writers. Some family members don’t get the joke, and other’s don’t think it’s right that the joke is at their expense.

The Game of Love & Chance

 Silvia is engaged to marry Dorante, a man she has never met. She is afraid to marry him without knowing what type of man he is, and he is planning to visit her very soon to formalize the engagement. In order to observe Dorante's true personality during his visit, she asks her father if she can change clothes with her servant, Lisette, so that she can watch him without his knowing her identity. Monsieur Orgon immediately agrees, having coincidentally received a letter from Dorante's father explaining how Dorante planned to disguise himself as his servant in order to achieve the same goal as Silvia. Monsieur Orgon sees this as an opportunity to play the game of love and chance, allowing the two to fall in love in spite of themselves.

Man of La Mancha

Miguel de Cervantes and his manservant, Sancho Panza have been thrown into a dungeon by the Spanish Inquisition. They have been charged with foreclosing on a monastery. The two have brought all their possessions with them into the dungeon. There, they are attacked by their fellow prisoners, who instantly set up a mock trial. If Cervantes is found guilty, he will have to hand over all his possessions. Cervantes agrees to do so, except for a precious manuscript. He asks to offer a defense, and the defense will be a play, acted out by him and all the prisoners. The "judge", a criminal called "the Governor", agrees. Cervantes takes out a makeup kit from his trunk, and the manservant helps him get into a costume. In a few short moments, Cervantes has transformed himself into Alonso Quijana, an old gentleman who  has lost his mind and now believes that he should go forth as a knight-errant. Quijana renames himself Don Quixote de La Mancha, and sets out to find adventures with his "squire", Sancho Panza. The memorable score includes the moving, Impossible Dream.
