Featuring a fast-paced wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
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 life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Saturday and Sunday at 2pm. Tickets are $15 for adults ($17 at the door) and $12 for seniors, students and children ($15 at the door). NCTC Performing Arts Theatre, 743 North Mountain Road, Newington, CT 06111. 860.666.NCTC - www.NCTCArts.org
