Seussical the Musical--October 1, 2, 3 and 8, 9, 10--2010
directed by Darrel Drullinger
"Seussical, the Musical" is based on the works of Dr. Seuss and combines many of the author's characters and stories into
one through plotline. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, JoJo, Gertrude McFuzz, and Mayzie LaBird
are just a few of the many Seuss characters that come alive in this lively showcase. It reveals a world
where anything's possible from an elephant in a tree, to a person too tiny to see, to a heroic child and dreams running wild.
The show is a magical, musical world where helping a friend, never giving up and keeping a promise comes true.

make you laugh until you . . . er, laugh your head off.

residents to pay to use the toilet. When a new, higher fee scheme is implemented (thanks to a shady
conspiracy between the company and government), the citizens revolt.
