Seussical
Three Week Musical Production Camp!
10 – 18 Year Olds
A delight for young people to perform, SEUSSICAL is now one of the most-performed shows in America!
In this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza, Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty
have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant,
The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo.
"Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters
transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--
not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers
and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to 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, the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart." Ultimately, the powers of friendship,
loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.
This camp will offer a unique theatrical opportunity: to create an electric, energetic show in a blackbox theatre.
YPT's blackbox space offers an intimacy that you won't find in larger theatres. This gives the actor a stronger
sense of connection to the audience and teaches one's body and voice to adjust a performance when playing
to a smaller house. Every day of camp presents a new opportunity to build skills in acting, music and voice, movement,
stagecraft, song interpretation, and improvisation. The camp culminates in live theater performances of the
Broadway Junior Version of this production.
