This colorful musical combines characters and stories from over ten beloved Dr. Seuss classics. The Cat in the Hat narrates to a young boy who goes through adventures and becomes part of the story as he meets Horton the Elephant, the “Whos” and the Jungle Creatures. The musical is filled with themes about everyone being important “no matter how small” and the importance of loyalty and friendship.
This production is a collaborative effort with Ms. Hathaway as Artistic Director, Mrs. McInnis as Vocal Director, Mr. Balch as Music Director, and Mr. Lamar as Technical Director and Auditorium Manager. Besides featuring theatre students, the pit is made up of Band students and adults and the cast features ages as young as two through middle school. Seussical cast and crew will begin pick-up rehearsals December 1st as they prepare to perform at the State of Michigan Educational Theatre Association Festival on December 5th. Big Rapids High School is one of the three schools selected to perform at State.
