The National Spelling Bee took place yesterday. If you’re in the Portland area, check out the Putnam County Spelling Bee with Raymond J Lee (Chip) and Ka-Ling Cheung (Marcy Park) thru June 27, 2010. Here’s more about Putnam County Spelling Bee:

Six kids face off in the battle of their lives. The competition is intense. The words are outrageous. Let the spelling (and the singing) begin! Three adults adjudicate the proceedings: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane Vice Principal and The Official Comfort Counselor completing his community service to the State of New York. Both tender and sardonic, this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical of overachievers angst brings you inside the spelling championship to end them all. From the author of Falsettos and A New Brain.
