Our family attended "Spelling Bee" last Saturday evening. What an entertaining show for all of us! The cast who played the 6 speller leads were excellent; our kids especially enjoyed the performances of William,Chip and Leaf. This was our first CMT show, but it certainly won't be our last! Collapse

"NERDS RULE!!!"
Review posted by: David Solnick from Palo Alto, CA, Mar 11, 2010
Watch the nerds (and a few audience members!) fumble their way sincerely but hilariously thru the absurdity of a spelling bee, with all the endearing awkwardness of puberty approaching.

Spent an absolutely delightful evening at The Retro Dome. The Guggenheim crew definitely know how to define the concept of "Shout for Joy!" Their latest creation, "SHOUT," is lively, tuneful, well-choreographed, and boasts five amazingly talented women bringing popular music of the '60s to colorful and energetic life. But perhaps the best part of a Guggenheim production is the way in which their productions always keep the audience foremost in mind, and involve the folks in the dark with the bright antics on stage. We actually sang and clapped to a couple of songs and felt like we were part of the show! As a former critic for a cultural arts weekly ("Boston After Dark," from the 60's) as well, I can "professionally" state that this is a "must see" production. Support your local theatre! Go see SHOUT!!! Collapse

"Good Fun"
Review posted by: Gretchen Ross from Gilroy, CA, Mar 10, 2010
Shout! was an entertaining stroll down the musical halls of the 1960's. The singing was great, and the costumes colorful. Recommended entertainmnet for the over 50 crowd.

The people you meet through the event create a life-long friendship. Relay For Life is a nationwide community movement. For Willow Glen to have their very own event is special. In addition, Willow Glen will be celebrating its 10th anniversary! This year we are helping celebrate more birthdays. It's an amazing event you just cannot miss out! Plus, helping make this year even more special is the 3rd Cancer Prevention Study enrollment happening right here in Willow Glen. It's the only Relay For Life event hosting the study in the bay area.
