About the event

Akeelah & the Bee

Join us for our first youth performance of our 25th Anniversary Season!

Akeelah has a crazy passion for words: the more "abstruse" and "labyrinthine", the better. But this gift is almost overwhelmed by the challenge of her daily life in a tough, Chicago neighborhood. Akeelah’s aptitude earns her a spot in the National Spelling Bee, which inspires the people in her neighborhood with her courage and tenacity.

Does Akeelah learn to overcome these pressures or succumb?

Join us October 3rd - 12th, 2025
