Getting on stage at Spelling Bee

Before the show, there are sign up sheets aviliable in the lower lobby of the theater in which you can sign up your name and they interview you (what's your name, job ect...). Its a fun process. I have heard thought that if you say you're an actor, they don't pick you or have a tendency not to pick you. Its a very easy process though.

Why^^??

will they allow u to go onstage if you're under 18? i really would love me (or my sis) to go onstage when we see it next week (hey, ive won a regional spelling bee, and came 7th in state!!!) :P :)

Is it worth calling ahead maybe and asking you think? Or should I just wait till I get there...? What time do we need to be there?

It's a matter of luck...last night I took some advice I read here and didn't say I was an actress and I mentioned I was wit ha big group from school, but I didn't get picked There were a lot of people signing up though, so who knows. They generally pick one younger kid, an older person, and two 20-30ish people. Good luck, and the show is a blast even if you don't get on stage =)

this is how it goes down.....the writers write jokes before the show and the guy with the CLIPBOARD tries to find people that fits the jokes.....i know the 2nd night i saw the show a woman had on glittered sliver shoes and when she went up to spell they said,"ms. smith is a frequent shopper @ the Wicked Gift Shop next door!" LOL ....so it's basically all a matter of luck tend to pick, " non actors" the regular people if you will ...how do i know this?! i attend the school and i know the stage manager and she told me lol
