Mesa Encore Theatre's season opener will take us back to childhood with the zany antics of "Seussical: The Musical."
Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have brought to life all the favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie La Bird and Jojo, a little boy with a big imagination. It transports the colorful characters from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the microscopic planet of the Whos of Whoville.
The Cat in the Hat (played by Chad Campbell), who acts as the "host and emcee" throughout the show, leads the audience through a magical world where Horton the Elephant (played by Julian Pena) finds himself faced with a double challenge.
Not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (double cast as Cameron Pinion and Gabby Vatistas) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant in a story that makes you laugh and cry. Award-winning director/choreographer Edgar Torrens is at the helm of this season opener.
The proceeds of the 50/50 raffle during intermission will benefit a local Reading Is Fundamental program.
"Seussical: The Musical" runs from Friday to Oct. 7 with performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Extra matinee performances have been added at 10 a.m. Sept. 29 and Oct. 6.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $22 for students/teachers/seniors and $10 for children under 12 if purchased early; tickets sold on the day of the show are $2 more. Tickets may be purchased through the Mesa Arts Center Box Office at 480-644-6500 or www.mesaartscenter.com.
Mesa Encore Theatre is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization and was founded in 1937.
