SIGN UP TODAY FOR OUR NEW MUSICAL! |
Seussical: The Musical {Ages 9-Teen} |
WHEN: Starts January 3rd-June 20th! This class rehearses on Wednesdays from 4:30pm-6pm Email dance@gardenstreetmusic.com to enroll and for more information. "Oh, the thinks you can think" when Dr. Seuss' best-loved characters collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper! The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in 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. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
