“Riotously funny and remarkable ingenious. Gold stars all around!” – New York Times.
In this Tony Award-winning new musical comedy, six of Putnam County’s quirkiest and nerdiest spelling titans want nothing more than to be the B-E-S-T. These loveable spellers, played by adults, fiercely battle it out for the title only to learn that winning isn’t everything and losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. Either way you spell it, this comical competition comes alive with a cornucopia of spelling words, a plethora of sharp humor, and intelligent interaction from only the best spellers in the audience (which could be you!).
Before each performance, four members of the audience are chosen to participate in the spelling bee.

Red Herring: A Murder-Mystery Comedy
By Michael Hollinger
Produced by Noble Fool Theatricals
Mainstage Theater
"It's a knock-out—a surprising, clever comedy that keeps you laughing and even thinking all the way." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Three love stories, a murder mystery, and a nuclear espionage…oh my! It's 1952: America's on the verge of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower's on the campaign trail, and I Love Lucy's on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy's daughter just got engaged to a Soviet spy, and Boston detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor—or else lose out on a honeymoon in Havana. A blunt-nosed, sharp-eyed look at love and tying (and untying, and retying) the knot.
