Where kids can make a scene!
Oh the THINKS you can THINK!
Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR.!
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger 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!

Giddy up for a night of laughter, music, and good ol’ fashioned FUN at the TRYPS Children’s Theater Spotlight Soirée! Help us wrangle $17,000 to keep the spirit of theater alive for young’uns near and far!
This year, our show will take you back in time to the Blue Note Saloon, where the townsfolk are ready to celebrate the big reveal of this summer’s musical—until the secret title up and vanishes! Now it’s up to the town (and maybe a few sharp-eyed audience members) to track down the thief, crack the case, and save the day. Saddle up for a wild ride full of music, mischief, and mystery!
