Charlotte’s Web tells the story of WIlbur, a runt pig who is saved from slaughter and raised on a farm. When Wilbur learns he will eventually be killed, his friend Charlotte, a clever spider, comes up with a plan to save him. She spins words like “Some Pig” in her web to convince the humans that Wilbur is extraordinary. Through her efforts and eventual sacrifice, Wilbur’s life is spared, and he learns about friendship, love, and loss.

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life on stage in Seussical, KIDS. Audiences are transported from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many “thinks”. Horton’s challenge is twofold– not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but 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, kidnapping 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!
