This Morningside University production will be a riotous ride of comedic delightful genius, following an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. Complete with audience participation.

 

"Before I hit Send to publish this review, I went online and purchased tickets to see the show on Saturday. I saw it on opening night, and now I’m paying to see it again. Twice in the same weekend. Because I enjoyed it so much. That’s it. That’s the review."

"...it gives you a handful of awkward kids, a gymnasium, and a spelling competition—and somehow turns that into one of the most unexpectedly heartfelt nights you can have in a theater."
