"Seussical - The Musical"
Show Dates
November 10, 11, 12, 17 & 18 at 7:30pm
Director | Jeff Crowell - Gregoire
Producer | Meggin Dail
A musical perfect for the whole family, Seussical takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and JoJo. The Cat in the Hat guides us into The Jungle of Nool where we see Horton, the kind hearted elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whoville. He meets JoJo, a Who child sent to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton decides he must protect the speck of dust on a nearby clover, while at the same time protecting an abandoned egg left to his care by the lazy Mayzie la Bird.
Horton tries to convince the other animals in The Jungle of the existence of the Whos, but he is ridiculed and put on trial for insanity. Only his loyal neighbor, Gertrude McFuzz, never loses faith in him. Eventually, the two fall in love. Now one of the most widely produced musicals in the country, Seussical weaves a story of friendship, loyalty, and love.
Despite all odds, Horton and Gertrude band together to save the Whos, free Horton, and restore peace and unity to the Jungle of Nool. Charming Seussical teaches us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.

A Message From The Director | Catherine Martinez
As I sit here reflecting on the incredible journey we've embarked upon together, I find myself at a loss for words to fully express the depth of my gratitude and admiration. Directing this remarkable group of performers and collaborating with our exceptional crew has been nothing short of extraordinary.
From the very beginning, we knew that this fundraising event would pose it’s challenges. The music we threw at the cast to learn in such a short span of time was undeniably demanding. Yet, with determination and an infectious enthusiasm, each member of our team approached this challenge head-on, embracing it with smiles, grace, and a thirst for knowledge. Their commitment to honing their craft and pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones has been awe-inspiring.
The result? A performance that radiated passion and professionalism. Every note sung, every step danced, every line delivered - they all bear testament to the countless hours of hard work and dedication they have poured into making this event a resounding success.
But it's not just about the final product; it's about the journey we took together. The countless rehearsals, late nights, and shared laughter forged a bond among us that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Witnessing everyone come together as one cohesive unit has filled me with an immense sense of pride.
I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation for each and every one of this Cast & Crew.
