Description

akeelah_and_the_bee_posterJoin us for the screening of the award-winning film Akeelah and the Bee.

There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe the excellence of Akeelah and the Bee. Superbly written and directed by Doug Atchison, this PG-rated family drama covers the same dramatic territory as the acclaimed 2002 documentary Spellbound and the 2005 drama Bee Season, but the fictional story of 11-year-old Akeelah Anderson (Keke Palmer) is, if anything, even more entertaining, inspiring, and full of hope for the potential of children everywhere.

A great event for those interested in learning more about the sport of spelling bees. Families are invited! Read more about Akeelah and the Bee and watch the trailer!

Seating for this event is now closed, thanks for the great response! If you have a question, please email Amy O'Hara at .
