SEUSSICAL This December, W.F. West Theatre Continues Its Tradition SEUSSICAL This December, W.F. West Theatre continues its tradition of bringing children’s theatre to our community when we present: Seussical. The amazing world of Dr. Seuss and his colorful characters come to life on stage in this musical for all ages. The Cat in the Hat takes us through the story of Horton the Elephant and his quest to prove that Whos really do exist. The story: A young boy, JoJo, discovers a red-and-white-striped hat. The Cat in the Hat suddenly appears and brings along with him Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, the Whos, Mayzie La Bird and Sour Kangaroo. Horton hears a cry for help. He follows the sound to a tiny speck of dust floating through the air and realizes that there are people living on it. They are so small they can't be seen – the tiny people of Whoville. Horton places them safely onto a soft clover. Sour Kangaroo thinks Horton is crazy for talking to a speck of dust. As Horton is left alone with his clover, the Cat thrusts Jojo into the story. Horton discovers much more about the Whos and their tiny town of Whoville while Jojo's imagination gets the better of him. Horton and Jojo hear each other and become friends when they realize their imaginations are so much alike. Gertrude writes love songs about Horton. She believes Horton doesn't notice her because of her small tail. Mayzie appears with her Bird Girls and offers Gertrude advice which leads her to Doctor Dake and his magic pills for “amayzing” feathers. After taking too many magical pills, Gertrude’s tail begins to grow. The Wickersham Brothers are up to no good. They decide to steal the clover and hand it off to Vlad Vladikoff who flies off with the clover and drops it directly into a huge field of clover. Horton searches frantically for the Whos. Gertrude arrives with her new tail determined to tell Horton how she truly feels about him but Horton is too busy looking for the Whos. Mayzie calls to Horton from her nest in a tree and convinces him to sit on the nest for her while she takes a brief vacation. Seasons pass and Horton is stuck sitting on the egg while the Whos are still lost in the clover. Hunters capture Horton and the egg and take him away where he winds up in the circus. The traveling circus comes to Palm Beach where Mayzie is relaxing and decides she needs a change of scenery. She heads to the circus where she runs into Horton. He begs her to take back her egg but Mayzie decides Horton would be a better parent for her egg than she could ever be so she gives him the egg for good and leaves before he can say no. Horton accepts responsibility of caring for the egg but is still worried about the Whos. Gertrude has gotten rid of her new tail and rescues Horton. She found his clover and Horton finally notices that Gertrude is amazing. Horton is taken back and put on trial for talking to a dust speck and sitting on an egg. Horton is found guilty and the speck of dust is to be boiled in oil. Horton tells the Whos they must yell to be heard. They are heard by all and Whoville is saved. Seussical performs December 7th, and 14th at 7:30 p.m. and December 8th and 15th at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the W.F. West Theatre at W.F. West High School.

This paper argues that several of his tales can be used as aids in teaching the basic principles of many sociological/criminological theories.

    Forest Hill News October 2020 Forest Hill News—Page 1 THEODOR GEISEL The young man, Theodor Geisel, was already a successful illustrator and cartoonist in New York, but he wanted to be an author. So, Theodor wrote a book which he enthusiastically submitted to a publisher. It was rejected. And that rejection was followed by another, and another, and another. There were twenty-seven in all. No one likes to be rejected. Theodor lost his enthusiasm. Walking along Madison Avenue with the unwanted manuscript under his arm, it was Theodor’s intention to burn it as soon as he returned to his apartment. Whether it was providential or serendipitous doesn’t matter, but it mattered a lot that on his walk home Theodor happened to run into Mike McClintock, an old friend from student years at Dartmouth College. The friends chatted, but before going their separate ways Geisel’s friend inquired what was in that big bundle tucked under his arm. After pouring out his sad story of serial rejections, the friend announced that he had recently been hired as the Children’s Book Editor for Vanguard Press, and he was on his way to his office for his first day on the job, and if Geisel wanted to accompany him he would be quite willing to look at the oft rejected manuscript. The novitiate editor recognized the manuscript as something quite different for a children’s book, almost “off the wall,” but he liked what he saw, both in the text and the wild illustrations. The book, And to Think What I Saw on Mulberry Street, first published in 1937, was an immediate best seller.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a poem by Dr. Seuss, about a character who hates Christmas, so he decides to steal it. Read these extracts from the poem... Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch,who lived just north of Whoville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all, May have been that his heart was two sizes too small. Whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes, He stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Whos, Staring down from his cave with a sour, Grinchy frown, At the warm lighted windows below in their town. ...the Grinch comes up with an idea to steal Christmas, and takes all the presents and decorations from the houses... It was quarter past dawn... All the Whos, still a-bed, All the Whos, still a-snooze when he packed up his sled, Packed it up with their presents! The ribbons! The wrappings! The tags! And the tinsel! The trimmings! The trappings! Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt.
