Seussical at MCC Performing Arts Center

From April 4 to April 6, MCC Performing Arts Centers hosts Seussical. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, 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 Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. Tickets are $18 for general public; $15 for staff/alumni/military; and $12 for students and seniors.
