FALL 2026: Minis Musical, Wednesdays 4-6:30pm (ages 6-10) "SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL KIDS!"
SYNOPSIS:
"Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many "thinks." Horton's challenge is twofold — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been 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 PROCESS:
Our Minis program offers a joyful and structured introduction to the performing arts. Students are guided through the foundations of acting, singing, and movement in an environment that emphasizes confidence, creativity, and collaboration. The experience culminates in a developmentally appropriate performance that celebrates both process and growth.
Casting will happen at the first rehearsal, and everyone who registers will be cast.
We limit the number of actors in our program so that we can build one-on-one relationships with them. We individualize their experience, to help them develop the skills necessary to thrive in the theatre arts. We pride ourselves on creating top-notch learning experience on stage and off.
