24/25 School Matinees:
AKEELAH AND THE BEE
Cantey V. Sutton Theatre
Wednesday, February 12 and Wednesday, February 19, 2025
10:00am
Adapted for the stage by Cheryl L. West
Based on the original screenplay by Doug Atchison
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.

Louise “Scottie” Stephenson Amphitheatre

A pop culture phenomenon comes to the musical stage in Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher, is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV, when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. Inspired by the Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math and more through clever, tuneful songs, experience Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. in RLT’s outdoor amphitheatre.
