Akeelah and the Bee
OVERVIEW
Akeelah lives and breathes words and has a gift for spelling. This passion is overshadowed by the daily realities of her life in a tough Chicago neighborhood. Despite her mother’s objections, she studies and prepares for the National Spelling Bee with a determined spirit. As the underdog, Akeelah’s spunk and tenacity teach us all a little something about triumphing over any obstacle. With less than two weeks until its opening before the COVID-19 shutdown, the show returns to finally bring Akeelah to life on the Racine Theatre Guild’s stage.
Outreach Performances also available on Tuesday, April 26 and Wednesday, April 27 for local schools and home school groups.
