Woodlawn Theatre Opens ...SPELLING BEE, 8/3

'Spelling Bee' is a one-act musical comedy conceived by Rebecca Feldman with music and lyrics by William Finn, a book by Rachel Sheinkin, and additional material by Jay Reiss. The show centers on a fictional spelling bee set in geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally quirky grown-ups.

Special Guest Director, Dave Cortez, asks you to flex your spelling muscles as each night four REAL audience members will be invited onstage to compete in the spelling bee alongside the six young characters. About half an hour before the show begins, audience members in the lobby are given the chance to sign up to participate in the show as "spellers". And on Saturday nights, adult-only audiences (ages 18 and up) are invited for "Parent-Teacher Conferences". These special performances are peppered with references inspired by R-rated ad-libs made during rehearsals.

Woodlawn Theatre is offering special student tickets opening weekend in which everyone gets special student pricing. When purchasing tickets online, just select student tickets and no ID is required at the door.

The show opens August 3rd and runs through August 26, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00PM and Sundays at 2:30PM. So grab a cape and a juice box and join the fun!
