Based on the beloved film starring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne, Akeelah and the Bee tells the story of a spunky 11-year-old girl whose razor-sharp mind just might take her all the way from the Chicago projects to the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Now you can experience this spellbinding story at Boston's Wheelock Family Theatre, in a spirited production that celebrates diversity, friendship and the triumph of the human spirit. Inspiring, touching, funny and suspenseful in equal doses, Akeelah and the Bee is a must-see for theater-goers of all ages.
