Can I have the definition please?

Market House Theatre's 48th season kicked off last night with a hilarious performance of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee! This 2005 Tony-Award winning Broadway hit by composer-lyricist William Finn and playwright Rachel Sheinkin has been selling out nationwide. In its review of the musical, the Washington Post described the musical as "the funniest thing in seven syllables." The Bee is just edgy enough (if musicals got ratings, it would be PG-13) that this tenderhearted romp through a kids' world is a hoot for grown-ups. Tickets are $20, students ages 21 and under $16. Call the Box Office at 270-444-6828.
