	Brought to you by the award-winning Berkeley High Drama Department,
This fun one-act show follows the events that unfold during a high-stakes
spelling bee, where the quirkiest of characters all come together to share
their love for spelling. Winner or loser, each character offers a different
perspective on what it means to be a competitive speller. You wont want to
miss this spectacular show! Though these high quality high school shows used
to be the Bay Area's Best Kept Secret- the secret is out.. we regularly sell
out so please arrive early!! It was a smash on Broadway, and this production
is the bargain of the year.... a great musical, live accompaniment, sterling
voices.... don't miss this surprisingly sharp show...

	Suitable for folks 8 and up....... but the humor, music, and subject
matter are mature enough for fans of Woody Allen and Stephen Sondheim....
