Seussical Junior is a shortened version of the play by the same moniker, based on the works of Dr. Seuss and weaves together his most famous tales and characters from at least fifteen of his books. The show follows the adventures of Horton, an elephant who one day hears voices coming from a speck of dust. He soon discovers that within this tiny speck exists the smallest planet in the universe! On this tiny planet live a tiny race of creatures known as Whos. Although ridiculed by the other animals in the Jungle of Nool for believing in something he cannot see, Horton stubbornly persists in his belief that the Whos exist. Traveling everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool, some of the characters fall in love, some have desperate adventures, and some even save the world. Featured in this production is Plano City Manager’s grandson Bruce D. Glasscock’s grandson Caden Glasscock as Horton the Elephant. Who says “I never thought being an elephant could be so much fun.”
“I am pleased to work with such a talented group of kids ,” says Julia Cinquepalmi – director. “the kids put this show together in record time & had so much fun doing it. They really ate it up!”
“I love playing Mazie” (The mother of Horton’s egg in name only), Haley Parham (11), “It is fun to be bad sometimes.”
“I love the bright colors & costumes & really enjoy being a part of the show,” Bella Cinquepalmi, “it’s fun also getting to be with my mom for the show.”
“This is one of those shows that speaks to the kid in all of us,” Jamey Jamison Executive Director,” Suess was able to capture the struggles that transcend age, even now I find wisdom in his words. ‘Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.’ – genius!”
