Questions about Jerseys Boys and Spelling Bee

I am seeing The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee for the 3rd time this saturday and Jersey Boys for the first time two saturdays after that. I have a few questions for each.

Spelling Bee: Where is the stage door? Is there a stage door? Well, what I am trying to say is, where and when can I meet the actors after the show? Also, has anyone been a volunteer in the show? I would love to do and and I was wondering if anyone knew where you had to go, or what you have to do to be in the show as a speller?

Jersey Boys: Like spelling bee, I was wondering where the stage door is, so where is it?

Thanks!

You can just wait in the lobby of Circle in the Square, and everyone comes out except Dan usually. Just wait at the top of the elevator. Everyone is usually really nice.

spellRENT77--You will have a fabulous time at both shows!
If you are going to The Bee for the third time---you can certainly visualize the theatre.
All of the actors except Dan Fogler come out the main entrance where the audience leaves and enters from.
Dan comes out the real stage door which is on the side of theater diagonally across from The Palm restaurant and where all the bicycle-taxi's await. He takes awhile to come out--so my best advice is if you want everyone's autograph and pictures is to get them from the others first and then run to side. Casrt members are all very accessible and accomodating.
To be considered as a guest speller--get there about one half hour before curtain(semantics--since spelling bee doesn't have one) You will see a person with a clipboard circulating in what looks like the middle school lobby. You can approach her. She will ask if you want to be a speller--and then ask some introductory questions. I think you are then directed to man at table . Good Luck
I think Jersey Boys stage door is on side.

Jersey Boys: Make a right outside the theater and you will probably see a barricade set up.

Dan came out the lobby "stage door" last night, was very nice about signing and pictures.
