There’s no greater authority on what’s “best” in Rhode Island than the folks at Rhode Island Monthly magazine, and this gift basket lets you enjoy a sampling of their recommendations.  From Rhode Island Monthly and the Providence Performing Arts Center, the winner of this item will win a gift basked filled gift certificates to DeWolf Tavern in Bristol, Big Fish in Providence, and the Chow Fun Food group (to Citron, Ten, or XO), along with a Rhode Island Monthly magazine, mug and other goodies!  Plus receive two tickets to the November 14th, 2007 7:30 p.m. showing of the Tony-Award Winning musical comedy Spelling Bee.

In the show, THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. SPELLING BEE has been hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “perfect in every possible way – that rarity of rarities, a super-smart musical that is also a bona fide crowd pleaser.” This tuneful, offbeat and at times heartwarming show offers audience members the opportunity (strictly voluntary) to become part of the action as on-stage spellers. The New York Times calls SPELLING BEE, “irresistible, riotously funny and remarkably ingenious – gold stars all around.
