So dust off your dictionary and prepare for an evening of laughter, toe-tapping music and the drama of The Spelling Bee.

The show is at 7 p.m. May 30, 31 and June 1. General admission is $15 ASB/Child (under 13) and $12 for senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased at the door (cash only). There’s also a special understudy show at 7 p.m. on May 29, with a $5 admission.
