We went to see the Spelling Bee play tonight at the Artistry Theater in Bloomington. It was terrific. I have never seen it; knew nothing about it! It was hilarious. I forgot to take a picture while we were there, so we stole the picture of the day from their internet pictures. If you are local, it is running through the weekend and it is worth your time.
There were six “kids” competing in the spelling bee, plus they pulled four people out of the audience to participate. They were on stage for a long time – they obviously didn’t know what they were doing, but were trying to follow the lead of the actors and it was hilarious. One by one they got eliminated from the bee, got their apple juice consolation, and went back to the audience. One lady actually spelled her hard word – the one that was supposed to eliminate her – correctly and she had to have another turn. That word was realllllllly hard.
It was a delight!
