San Elijo Elementary

Show Information 

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza.

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!

Limited Financial Assistance available. All requests must be submitted by email to studentsonstage22@gmail.com by October 28th. 

How our program works! 

At the elementary school level our program registration is on a first come-first serve basis. We will have a limited amount of spots open on our registration day. Once you register your student they are automatically in the production! If all spots are taken then you can email us to be placed on a waitlist. We will send out an email  with additional information after the registration day. 

At the first few classes, your student will work with our Music Director and Director so they can become familiar with the songs and start preparing for their audition! Yes, each student will still have to audition so we cast them in an appropriate role for the production! Some students might get a leading role and some will play an ensemble role, but ALL roles are vital in the telling of the story!

Please see the next two sections below for important dates and requirements for participation!
