The Theatre Guild of Rockingham County will present Akeelah and the Bee in late March.

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.

Tickets are $20 for adults age 19+ and $15 for a child or student. Tickets can be purchased at https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=tgrc
