SEUSSICAL
Presented by Acting Up
Oct. 5-7
Mason

Directed by Joey Schnell with Brent Peebles
Vocal direction by Carrie Classen & Amy Hall
Choreographed by Megan Kelly
Produced by Becky Corstanje & Amy Frankel with Danielle Campbell

The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge–not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to 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, the only one who recognizes “his kind and his powerful heart.” Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.
