The Tony Award-winning musical, which was first conceived locally at the Barrington Stage Company in 2004, follows the trials and tribulations of six pre-teen spellers at their regional spelling bee, where the winner gets to go on to the national bee in Washington, D.C. As the show progresses, we see the inner struggles and joys for each of the six children, along with the three adults who are running the bee. Highly improvisational, no two productions are the same and audience participation occurs at every performance as four audience members are selected to join the spellers on stage to compete in the bee. Containing iconic musical theater songs such as the show-stopping “Pandemonium” and heart-wrenching “The I Love You Song,” audiences have packed theaters across the country for this beloved show.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Principals (5f, 2m)
CARRIE WHITE – A painfully shy outsider who, in spite of her best efforts to belong, has been the victim of her classmates’ cruel jokes since childhood, as well as her mother’s strict, biblically-oriented control at home. She transforms from ugly duckling into graceful – and then vengeful – swan. Vocally, she must be capable of lyrical sweetness as well as fierce power.
MARGARET WHITE – A woman of cisceral extremes, she balances her fervent religious convictions with equally sincere true-believer spirituality and tender, maternal love for Carrie. Like Carrie, with whom she shares several duets, her voice must range fromexpressive and melodic to ferocious and frightening.
SUE SNELL – A straight-A student who’s been popular her entire life, she’s remarkably level headed for her age. Her unthinking participation in a cruel act of bullying causes a crisis of conscience that leads her on a journey to try to right things. Vocally, she has a pop ballad voice that delivers sweet sincerity and strength.
TOMMY ROSS – Popular star athlete, valedictorian, and all around stand-out, he’s the boy that all the girls want to be with, and all the boys want to be. Yet he also has unexpected, quirky sensitivity and is just starting to mine his personal life and feelings – a budding poet. His voice should have an effortless pop quality.
CHRIS HARGENSEN – Rich, spoiled-rotten, and wickedly funny, Chris is a popular beauty whose arrogant self-assurance makes her believe that the rules don’t apply to her. Loaded with sexual dynamite, she has serious daddy issues and anger-management issues. Her voice is pop-rock percussive and powerful.
BILLY NOLAN – Now in his sixth year in high school, Billy’s a sexy, stupid-like-a-fox bad boy whose wise mouth troublemaking has led him to spend more time in detention than in class. All these qualities make it easy for his girlfriend Chris to manipulate him to do her bidding. His voice is that of a wailing rocker.
MISS LYNN GARDNER – Mid-30s, this girls’ P.E. teacher can be a strict disciplinarian if necessary, but when Carrie arouses her maternal instinct, she surprises herself by also revealing a protective “fairy godmother” side. Her voice is warm and strong, just like the woman.
Ensemble Roles (3f, 4m)
MR. STEPHENS – Late-30s, this well-intentioned English teacher and guidance counselor struggles to help his students realize their potential. A dedicated educator, he’s stretched thin in his duties, woefully underpaid, and a bit overwhelmed as to how to handle the Billy Nolans of the classroom combat zone.
REVEREND BLISS – can be played by the same actor as Mr. Stephens
SUE’S INTERROGATORS – Voices Only: 1f, 1m
FRIEDA – Sue’s brainy pal, she’s an easy-going, get-along follower and a tireless extracurricular committee volunteer.
NORMA – Bitchy, gossipy and a shameless suck-up to authority, Norma is second-in-command to Chris’ queen bee.
HELEN – Giggly and easily shocked, her immaturity and need to belong make her the perfect example of the herd mentality.
GEORGE – Tommy’s jock wingman since childhood, George idolizes him. Perhaps a little too much…
STOKES – A bit of a nerd, he’s happy to be included as one of Tommy’s posse.
FREDDY – The wise-cracking class clown and official yearbook photographer, he can’t believe any girl would ever give him the time of day.

ABOUT THE SHOW
One of literature’s most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, is back — braces, stubbornness and all. Once again, she’s joining forces with Mrs Whatsit, Charles Wallace, Calvin O’Keefe and more to battle the forces of evil so she can rescue her father, save humanity and find herself. In the end, we know two things for sure: 1. Love CAN overcome evil and 2. There IS such a thing as a tesseract. Perfect for schools and touring groups, this one-act adaptation of the beloved novel masterfully retells the story in a fresh and enduring way.

Drumming since junior high school while listening to a wide range of music including: jazz, rock, R&B, funk, and progressive rock. In addition to playing acoustic and electronic drums, I’ve played various percussion and provide lead and backup vocals.
Some of my musical influences are Dave Weckl, Thomas Lang, Gavin Harrison, Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, Phil Collins, and Steve Gadd. I became a studio engineer producing, and recording, and writing music using Protools. I’ve had the pleasure of playing the NFL referees NewYear’s Eve party, Turning Stone Casino, as well as several festivals and county fairs.

Jay Gold
Began playing guitar at the age of nine and bass guitar by age 14. I learned to play the trombone, keyboard, and sing lead and harmony vocals before recording my first studio demo at age 15. I’ve had the honor of playing with thousands of extremely talented musicians over my career in local bars to broadway and classical orchestra. The moments that have given me the most joy are when I play Rush songs on stage with my two teenage sons in our family band The Goldman Boys.

He has an extensive musical theater background having played for over 80 shows in the Bay Area of California and the Capital District. He has also played in bands in Boston and San Francisco and is currently an active piano accompanist in the area.

Steve Saccoccio
Raised on jazz, blues, and progressive rock, I began singing and recording in my dad’s studio at the age of five. In my teenage years I recorded with bands in studios on Long Island and Connecticut. My love for music inspired me to learn to play several instruments including drums, guitar, keyboard, and harmonica.
I played the bar scene as well as larger venues for decades in Connecticut, New Jersey, and the New York Hudson Valley. In the early 1980’s, I performed in all the major rock clubs in the Albany area and began writing and recording an EP for Polygram records by 1988. The most meaningful and heartfelt gigs have been the benefit fundraisers for children’s hospitals and animal shelters.
I’ve enjoyed playing a wide variety of rock music but Progressive rock continues to be my favorite style to sing and perform. I’m extremely grateful to find such fine musicians who possess the talent and passion to bring this great music back to life.
