Toms River High School South's Theater Guild will present "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," a musical comedy, later this month. 

The show, which focuses on a spelling bee for 12-year-olds, once appeared on Broadway and earned six Tony nominations, taking two of those awards. The High School South production will hold its opening night on Thursday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m.
