Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical KIDS,  the 40 minute adaptation of the Broadway musical, Seussical!

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!

Auditions will be held from 4:00-6:00 PM on Friday, Mar. 14, to determine role assignment. All students enrolled must attend auditions.

Performances are at 4:30 PM on Friday, Mar. 21, and Sat., Mar. 22 at 11:00 AM. Each student receives 2 complimentary tickets to the performance of his or her choice. Additional tickets may be purchased for $5 each online at dmplayhouse.com beginning Mar. 1. Seating is general admission.
