Blacktop Theatre Company, along with The Keegan Theatre, transports you back to the standby of 4th grade teachers everywhere: The Spelling Bee. But instead of the usual Merriam-Webster approved list, our words, sentences, and definitions will be shamelessly contemporary, proudly DC-centric, and yes, a little bit spicy.
10 of DC’s finest in the theatre industry will spell off against each other:
Frank Britton, Will Cruttendon, Heather Haney, Jason McCool, Joshua Morgan, Mary Myers, Katie Nigsh-Fairfax, Autumn Seavey, Jason Schlafstein, and Joseph Thornhill.
Judging the evening will be Edward Gero, Heather McDonald and Jenny McConnell Frederick.
The 10 theatre artists won’t be the only contestants, however. Each audience member can enter to win one of five additional slots onstage.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
