Seussical Jr. is a musical story centering around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge – not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to 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; the only one who recognizes “his kind and his powerful heart”. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant in an emotional story.
Drayton Heights students will make this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza come alive at the school on May 16 at 1pm for a performance for JK to Grade 8 students.
Families and members of the community are welcome to attend a performance that evening, May 16, at 7pm. Admission is $3 per person or $10 for a family. Space is limited.
