Description
Just imagine a world where anything is possible: an elephant up in a tree, a person too tiny to see, a heroic child and dreams running wild! Come to a magical place where helping a friend, never giving up, and keeping a promise come alive in this witty, wild, and wonderful tale that will delight the young and young at heart.
Fifty actors, ages 8-14, will bring all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters to life, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, all of the Whos of Whoville, and the Cat in the Hat! “This dedicated group has impressed me from the start. Their knowledge of acting and storytelling is unmatched by other casts of their age. You don’t want to miss this talented group of actors,” says Director Tova Halpern.
Admission is free, however, there is a suggested donation of $5.
