Seussical Jr. features the Dr. Seuss story of Horton the elephant, who discovers an entire society on a speck of dust. The famed Cat in the Hat tells the tale of Horton and the Whos, especially Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton soon faces a double challenge – not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an egg left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and even a trial, his friend, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz, never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. Come see Riverside Center bring to life many of your 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.
