The Spelling Bee
Marsha Sheiness
Show and Spell
by Julia Brownell
Synopsis
Five middle schoolers take on overzealous parents, crazy coaches and nostalgic relatives as they prepare for the annual spelling bee in this insightful comedy for young actors.
With contestants that range from an unflappable cheerleader who cheers all her words to the anxiety-prone daughter of a movie star, spelling the words correctly may be the least of these kids’ worries.
This play wonderfully illustrates the pressure that kids feel to compete and the family support that makes it all bearable.
