'Spelling Bee' heads to Moscow

The Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre has teamed up with the Idaho Repertory Theatre to co-produce "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

The actors from Cd'A Summer Theatre's production of Spelling Bee will travel down to Moscow and perform June 28, 29, 30 and July 1 and 2 at 7:30 each night at Hartung Theatre at the University of Idaho.

The play is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $14 for youth, $16 for seniors, and $15 for groups of 10 or more. Please visit or call the University of Idaho ticket office at (208) 885-7780 to purchase tickets. Also, visit www.idahorep.org for more info.
