Musical Synopsis

Seussical is a fantastical musical weaving together Dr. Seuss's beloved stories, primarily Horton Hears a Who! and Gertrude McFuzz. Guided by The Cat in the Hat, kind-hearted Horton the Elephant battles ridicule, danger, and a kidnapping to protect a microscopic speck of dust containing Whoville, while fostering friendship, loyalty, and individuality. 


Rehearsal Schedule
Rehearsals will tentatively begin on March 14th and will run through May. Rehearsal times include evenings and weekends. We will have breaks for the holidays (if any). Once rehearsal dates and times are determined, you will receive a rehearsal calendar.

Rehearsal Commitment & Attendance
Your commitment to the rehearsal schedule is essential to the success of our show. We understand that conflicts happen, but we ask that you prioritize rehearsals. Excessive absences affect the entire cast and crew, and we all depend on each other to build a cohesive and strong performance experience. Please note that attendance is mandatory during tech week, as these final rehearsals are critical for a polished and spectacular show.
Performance Dates: July 10th- July 26th
Friday/Saturday Shows- 7pm 
Sunday Matinees- 2pm
