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.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
