Spell well?
What do Jeannie Ritter, Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald and Jonny 5 of the Flobots have in common?
They are just three of the local “celebs” who will compete in the Stars on Stage Spelling Bee to benefit Summer Scholars on Feb. 6 at the Infinity Park Events Center.
The Stars on Stage Spelling Bee combines improv comedy theater and a spelling bee with a twist: Cheating is encouraged. Each spelling competitor is raising at least $5,000 for Summer Scholars, the funds each speller raises will serve as a “bank” that the competitor can use to “buy” cheats such as asking a teammate for assistance or looking the word up in the dictionary.
The event is presented in collaboration with the co-creators of the Tony-award winning musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Tickets are $35 for general admission or $50 for reserved table seating or $75 for anyone who wants to be a “Teacher’s Pet” at the event.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for a cocktail hour featuring flashback foods from the lunch ladies and a cash bar; show begins at 7.
For tickets, cal the Summer Scholars Spelling Bee hotline at 303-381-3741. More information: Coleen Truax, 303-381-3746.
