Photobook: 'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee'

A group of Naugatuck Teen Theatre students put on their own production over the weekend, staging "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at the Naugatuck Historical Society.

The event drew in crowds each of the three nights. Above, we have images captured from Saturday night's showing.

"It was a packed house," said Mayoral Aide Edward Carter, father of cast member Zach Carter. "We had well over 200 people over all three nights."
