*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Karamu enters mid-2018 with a bright future. Considering that only a few years ago it was rumored that the nationally important African American institution was on death’s doorstep, this is an amazing success story. Their recent Homecoming celebration is a welcome sign that there is much to come from “the joyful gathering place.” * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>* to read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Other roles played by Chip: Jesus Christ Male, Tenor, Deity invoked by a speller in need. Logainne “Schwartzy” Schwartzandgrunenierre Female, Mezzo-Soprano, A3 - F5, Logainne is the youngest and most politically aware speller, often making comments about current political figures. She is driven by internal and external pressure, but above all by a desire to win to make her two fathers proud. She is somewhat of a neat freak, speaks with a lisp signs as she spells and will be back next year. Leaf Coneybear Male, Tenor, A3 - A5, The second runner-up in his district, Leaf gets into the competition on a lark and finds everything about the bee incredibly amusing. He is home-schooled and comes from a large family of former hippies. He has severe Attention Deficit Disorder and spells words correctly while in a trance. Other roles played by Leaf: Carl Dad Male, Tenor, Schwarzy's main trainer, the more intense and competitive of Schwarzy's fathers. William Barfee Male, Tenor, E4 - B5, Putnam County Spelling Bee finalist last year, he was eliminated because of an allergic reaction to peanuts and is back for vindication. His famous "Magic Foot" method of spelling has boosted him to spelling glory, even though he only has one working nostril and a touchy, bullying personality. He develops a crush on Olive.

She speaks six languages, is a member of all-American hockey, a championship rugby player, plays Chopin and Mozart on multiple instruments, sleeps only three hours a night, hides in the bathroom cabinet, and is getting very tired of always winning.

Rona Lisa Peretti Female, Mezzo-Soprano, B3 - F5, The number-one realtor in Putnam County, a former Putnam County Spelling Bee Champion herself, and the returning moderator. She is a sweet woman who loves children, but she can be very stern when it comes to dealing with Vice Principal Panch and his feelings for her. Her interest in the competition is unflagging and drives it forward.Other roles played by Rona: Olive's Mom Female, Mezzo-Soprano, A fantasy version of Olive's mom at her Ashram in India. Vice Principal Douglas Panch Male, Spoken, The Vice Principle. Frustrated with his life, he finds the drive of the young spellers alien to him. After five years' absence from the Bee, Panch returns as judge. There was an "incident" at the Twentieth Annual Bee, but he claims to be in "a better place" now, thanks to a high-fiber diet and Jungian analysis. He is infatuated with Rona Lisa Peretti, but she does not return his affections. Mitch Mahoney Male, Tenor, G3 - B5. The Official Comfort Counselor. An ex-convict, Mitch is performing his community service with the Bee, and hands out juice boxes to losing students. He has no idea how to offer comfort but does find himself wishing he could find a way to make the kids feel better. Other roles played by Mitch: Dan Dad Male, Tenor, the more laid back and ineffectual of Schwarzy's fathers. Olive's Dad Male, Tenor, A fantasy version of Olive's dad coming to the bee from work. Leaf's Mom, Dad, And Siblings All more academically gifted than Leaf, they are even more surprised than he is by his success.
