This sharply written play by American film and television writer Leslie Caveny (Everybody Loves Raymond, Penelope, Pixar’s Newt) tells the story of Jenny, a young violinist pleased with her life except for when it comes to men. Having spent 3,345 nights alone of a possible 3,356 since puberty, she approaches scientifically the question “Why not me?” The play chronicles her pursuit of a brooding bass player she mistakenly assumes is Mr. Right.

This Tony Award-winning musical comedy features music and lyrics by William Finn, and is based on the book by Rachel Sheinkin. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime in this quirky story. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life-unaffirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
