Casting Calli Job Notice
RONA LISA PERETTI: (mezzo)- The numer-one realtor in Putnam County, a former Bee Champion herself, and the returning moderator. She is a sweet woman, loves children, can be very stern when it comes to dealing with Vice PrincipalPanch and his feeling for her. Her interest in the competition is unflagging and drives it forward. Doubles as OLIVE'S MOM
WILLIAM BARFEE: (tenor) - a Putnam Bee finalist last year, he was eliminated because of an allergic
reaction to peanuts and is back for vindication. His famous 'Magic Foot' method of spelling has boosted him to spelling glory, even though he only has one working nostril and a touchy, bullying personality. He develops a crusk on Olive.
