A New Light Theatre production
presented by Delaware Theatre CompanyWinner of the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a charming and deeply human musical that shines a light on the inner lives of six adolescents vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. As they candidly share hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, these tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words hoping to avoid the soul crushing “ding” of the bell that signals a mistake. Blending humor and heart, the show is a joyful celebration of individuality, belonging, and the courage to be seen.

NEW CASTLE, DE — September 2, 2026 — Victory Christian Fellowship is calling its congregation and the surrounding community to a weekend of prayer, fasting and spiritual preparation leading into a special Sunday service focused on breakthrough, freedom, deliverance and a powerful move of God.
Founding Pastor Gary Whetstone is inviting people to join him in fasting and praying Thursday, Friday and Saturday as they prepare for Sunday’s gathering.
The church is encouraging people to invite family and friends and come with expectations for what God can do.
The call comes as Victory continues its mission of serving both the spiritual and practical needs of the community. Two weeks ago on Aug. 23, following a fire the day before that started near the kitchen and damaged the choir room, the church gathered for worship outside. Last weekend, the four-decade-old food bank ministry, Heart for Humanity, served the community, while the young adult ministry, GoChurch, took evangelism into the surrounding neighborhood. Services are now indoors.
Pastors, members and volunteers all lent a hand in helping the church during a time of uncertainty. Founding Pastor Gary Whetstone said the fire didn’t come to destroy us. It came with a revelation.
“How do we work against the enemy?” he asked. “We fast, we pray, and then we call the fire of God down. Sunday when we come together … we are going to see the fire of God manifest in our lives.”
The church is encouraging the community to watch Pastor Gary’s video invitation on Instagram. Just visit @thevictoryexperience. Share it with others ahead of Sunday's service and come expecting a breakthrough in your life.
