Upcoming Shows

Planning a season of shows will help potential actors and production people time to prepare for auditions and plan their volunteer activities with SVP. It also alerts our audience to the fantastic theater they can experience here in Stoughton.

Reading and recommending shows is the work of the Play Reading Team, with final decision by the SVP Board of Directors. Many factors go into selecting a show including: cast size, number of parts for men and women, cost of production, audience and community preferences.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Coming in October 2010

Music and Lyrics by William Finn
Book by Rachel Sheinkin

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.
