As they tackle a series of increasingly difficult (and sometimes hilariously obscure) words, each speller reveals personal stories about family, identity, and growing up, blending humor with genuine emotional depth. Set within the high-stakes environment of a school spelling bee, the show captures both the absurdity and poignancy of adolescence, where victory and failure feel equally monumental—complete with the dreaded “ding” of elimination and the consolation of a juice box for those who fall short. 

Featuring music and lyrics by William Finn and a book by Rachel Sheinkin, this fast-paced production runs April 3–18, 2026, with evening performances, continuing DramaTech’s tradition of student-driven, innovative theatre that highlights both comedic flair and meaningful storytelling.
