LCT Award Winning Youth Theatre presents SEUSSICAL JR. on Friday, June 5th and Saturday, June 6th.
Recently acknowledged by the American Association of Community Theatre for excellence in music performance and acting, LCT Youth Theatre presents SEUSSICAL JR. for the public on Friday, June 5th at 7 pm and Saturday, June 6th at 2 pm and 7 pm. A musical perfect for the whole family, Seussical JR (performed by ages 8 to 14) 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 reprimanded 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 and eventually, the two fall in love. Seussical JR 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. Seussical JR teaches us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs. Perfect for all ages!
