Three adults 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. Both tender and sardonic, this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical of overachievers' angst brings you inside the spelling championship to end them all. Directed by Barbara Downer.Performances are 7:30 p.m. (2 p.m. on Sundays). Free post-show reception opening night, Sept. 11.
