Spelling Beast

Compete in style at tonight’s spelling bee, which benefits 826NYC, a free writing program. You’ll be judged by the creators of the musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and go head-to-head with competitors like author Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), radio personality Ira Glass (This American Life) and actress Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich).
