An eclectic group of several socially awkward youngsters vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime, finding joy, heartache and a purpose in competing at the regional spelling bee. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.

Tickets are $18.00 for General Admission and $10.00 for Students/Seniors. To purchase tickets please visit http://theatre.edgewood.edu. For more information please call 608-663-6710.
