This year's spring musical is
Seussical
, a fun journey through some of Dr. Seuss's most-loved stories. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
This family-friendly show can be seen at 7:30pm on March 1, March 2, March 7, March 8, and March 9, and at 2:30pm on March 9. Tickets will be available online in mid-February at
here
, or at the door. Student and senior tickets are $6, adult tickets are $8.
