  Our 2023-2024 All-School Musical: Seussical! Book by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty Music by Stephen Flaherty Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens Co-Conceived by Eric Idle Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International (www.mtishows.com) Onstage November 9 - 19, 2023 Special student and seniors matinee: Thursday November 9 at 12 Noon All other performances: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 pm, and Sundays at 2:00 pm Auditions: August 21, 22, 23; callbacks August 24 (more details to follow!) "Oh, the thinks you can think" when Dr. Seuss' best-loved characters collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper! Now one of the most performed shows in America, 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. Seussical is fun for the whole family and is sure to be a hit with all ages!

Rose is bowling the game of her life—but will her marriage survive it? Her husband, Bobby, is already struggling with an inferiority complex over her latest promotion, and out-bowling him isn't going to help. As Rose and Bobby try to work through their problems, all the growing pains of a new marriage emerge with a comic twist. Helped (and sometimes hindered) by their friends and teammates, Rose's quest for the perfect game runs headlong into her desire for the perfect marriage. Three Hundred and One explores gender roles, relationships and the ups and downs of success with a fast-moving story and rapid-fire dialogue. It entertains while leaving the audience with something to think about. (Suitable for all ages, although younger viewers might be less entertained.)
Finding Nemo, Jr.
Robert Lopez Book Adapted by Lindsay Anderson Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International (www.mtishows.com)
Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. is a 60-minute musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves. Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.
