In May we asked the community to send us their top picks for plays & musicals and the results are in! The Creative House is thrilled to announce the first of our most nominated shows: "๐ง๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ต ๐๐ก๐ก๐จ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ง๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ก๐ง๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐" - hitting the stage this September and casting begins NOW!
We are seeking adults (18+) for a variety of roles in this hilarious production where 6 awkward spelling champions learn that winning (and losing) isnโt everything.
This production will be cast with adults only and it consists of the following rolesโฆ

A young newcomer to competitive spelling. Her mother is in an ashram in India, and her father is working late, as usual, but he is trying to come sometime during the bee. Having found comfort in its words and vastness, Olive made friends with her dictionary at a very young age, helping her to make it to the competition. She starts enormously shy, and shyly blossoms.

Logainne is the youngest and most politically aware speller, often making comments about current political figures. She is driven by internal and external pressure, but above all by a desire to win to make her two fathers proud. She is somewhat of a neat freak, speaks with a lisp, and will be back next year.

The second runner-up in his district, Leaf gets into the competition on a lark and finds everything about the bee incredibly amusing. He is home-schooled and comes from a large family of former hippies. He has severe Attention Deficit Disorder and spells words correctly while in a trance.

A Putnam County Spelling Bee finalist last year, he was eliminated because of an allergic reaction to peanuts and is back for vindication. His famous "Magic Foot" method of spelling has boosted him to spelling glory, even though he only has one working nostril and a touchy, bullying personality. He develops a crush on Olive.

The ultimate over-achiever, Marcy has never been given another option. She comes from a family where excellence is expected and so simply produced. A parochial school student, she assumes God, too, expects perfection. She sees herself as a mass of problems but she keeps them to herself. Having moved often because of her parents' work, she knows she can beat the local competition. Her many talents include piano, dance, martial arts, baton twirling, and more!

The number-one realtor in Putnam County, a former Putnam County Spelling Bee Champion herself, and the returning moderator.

The Vice Principal. Frustrated with his life, he finds the drive of the young spellers alien to him. After five years' absence from the Bee, Panch returns as judge. There was an "incident" at the Twentieth Annual Bee, but he claims to be in "a better place" now, thanks to a high-fiber diet and Jungian analysis. He is infatuated with Rona Lisa Peretti, but she does not return his affections.
