DIRECTOR’S NOTE

As a child, I loved to read Dr. Seuss. It is now a joy to share the beloved books with my Grand- son, Aksel. In May 1954 Life Magazine published a report on illiteracy among school children, which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring. Nine months later, Geisel completed The Cat in the Hat, and beginning readers took fl ight as they were able read the simpli- fi ed vocabulary. Giesel’s clever illustrations and whimsical rhyming stories take us all to strange places full of bright colors and imaginary creatures. The amazing genius of Ted Giesel (Dr. Seuss) helped us all think in new ways, to fl y to the stars and back again. This production gives opportunity to bring some of his most beloved characters to life on the stage. Seussical has been a heartwarming experience, made more so by the positive, collaborative participation of everyone involved in the making of this production. Sit back and enjoy!
