Description:

Looking for boys and girls ages 12+ for the "Seussical" Musical Comedy. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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! Additional info: Please prepare 32 bars of a musical theater song in the style of the show.
