As they tackle tricky words round after round, each contestant reveals hilariously heartfelt glimpses into their complicated preteen worlds. It’s a chaotic, laugh-filled journey to crown the best speller — complete with audience participation and plenty of surprises. And hey, even the ones who don't win walk away with a juice box...

SYNOPSIS: Set against the vibrant backdrop of Depression-era Times Square, Guys and Dolls follows the intertwined lives of two gamblers and the women who steal their hearts. High-stakes gambler Sky Masterson unexpectedly falls for strait-laced mission worker Sarah Brown, while charming schemer Nathan Detroit tries to keep his long-running floating crap game alive — without losing his fiancée of 14 years. Love, luck, and dice all come into play in this classic tale of charm, chance, and unlikely connections.

SYNOPSIS: Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of how the small, remote town of Gander, Newfoundland became an unexpected refuge for the world. On September 11, 2001, 38 planes carrying thousands of passengers were suddenly rerouted to Gander’s airstrip, turning an ordinary day into an extraordinary act of global compassion. Amidst fear, uncertainty, and cultural differences, the residents of Gander opened their hearts and homes — offering food, music, comfort, and a whole lot of kindness. In the face of tragedy, strangers became friends, and a tiny town reminded us all of our shared humanity.
