May 5th

All Ages - Best for Grades K-5 (Under 10 with an adult)

Seussical Jr.

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters

spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza transporting

audiences to the Jungle of Nool. The Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the

Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos.

Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must

also guard an abandoned egg that has been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie

La Bird.  Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude

McFuzz never loses faith in him.  Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family

and the community is challenged and emerges triumphant! Performed by Paper Mill’s

Children’s Theater on Tour students. 60 mins.  No registration required.
