Spell Check! A Spelling Bee for Grown-Ups
A Latchis Arts Benefit:
A Humorous Evening of Serious Thought!
April 14th, 2012 At THE LATCHIS THEATRE,
Latchis Arts celebrates its 4th annual Spell Check! A Spelling Bee for Grown-Ups on the main stage of the Latchis Theatre. This exciting competition pits trios of spellers against one another before a whimsical panel: Master of Ceremonies Tom Bodett, Judge Archer Mayor, and Beekeeper Jim Maxwell. Rampant wordplay, anecdotes, bicycle horns, and laughter are sure to deliver the most outrageous of serious evenings.
Past years have boasted beehive hairdos, heifer costumes, and plenty of fun. “It’s almost like some spectacular sporting event,” remarks Jerry Stockman, a member of the twice-victorious team To Bee Or Not To Bee. “Or like we’re in the studio to record a game show! There’s that sort of sensibility about it.” He and his teammates are gearing up for this year’s competition, and hoping for another win.
Bragging rights, fame, and the right to display the winner’s name on the new Latchis Marquee are at stake, and registration has begun. There is a $100 fee per team, and each team must also raise an additional $100 sponsorship. For registration forms and further information about Spell Check! A Spelling Bee for Grown-Ups, contact spellcheck@latchisarts.org. Benefit tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for children.
