Show Description:
Show Description:
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

This show also includes adult language, sexual innuendo, an irreverent depiction of religious figures, gay parents, references to anxiety and family issues, and a song about an “unfortunate erection.” And it’s all very funny!
