"Seussical!" Presented by Calaveras Sings Theatre Arts Repertory for Kids
CSTARS is proud to present one of the most performed shows in America as its 17th production! With unforgettable characters and a timeless story, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime), have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
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.
The whole Seuss Crew rolls into town for one weekend only, so join us July 28-30 at the Bret Harte High School Performing Arts Center for four special performances by our Red Fish and Blue Fish Casts. It's the summer theatrical event you won't want to miss!
"Seussical" is directed by Kathy Mazzaferro. Assistant direction is provided by Katherine Johnson and Ann Mazzaferro, with choreography by Molly Johnson, set design by Skip Sharp, and technical direction by David Duggan.
