About this Event
Join award-winning author and composer Scott Evan Davis for a special event celebrating Queen Bea, a warm and empowering story about finding your confidence, embracing what makes you different, and discovering that sometimes the things that set us apart are exactly what make us shine.
Young Bea has always felt a little different from the other bees in her hive. When an unexpected responsibility lands on her wings, she starts to wonder whether she has what it takes to lead.
At this special event, Scott will share Queen Bea with us and take us behind the story, talking about Bea's journey and the ideas of friendship, leadership, teamwork, and believing in yourself.
And there's a little extra buzz! Scott will also share two songs from the musical version of Queen Bea, with special guest singers Rosie Grellet and Malik Victorian joining him for the performance.
Come ready to listen, sing along, and think about the qualities that make you uniquely you.
Perfect for ages 3–10 and families.
