The competition is intense. The words are hilarious. Let the spelling begin! The show centers around a fictional spelling bee in Putnam County, New York. Six kids face off in the battle of their lives. They compete against each other as well as against members of the audience. Three adults help adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane vice principal, and The Official Comfort Counselor completing his community service to the state of New York. Come see “Spelling Bee” they way it was meant to be seen, in an intimate setting where you are a part of “The Bee.”
