Middletown Area Middle School Auditorium
215 Oberlin RoadAbout The Show: 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 words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life-unaffirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Ten spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
Do you have what it takes to take home the trophy? Sign up before the show to be a part of the bee!
