FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The University of Saint Francis School of Creative Arts presents “Seussical” as its spring musical production, opening March 22 in the USF Robert Goldstine Performing Arts Center, 431 W. Berry Street.
Based on the books by Dr. Seuss, “Seussical” brings audience’s imaginations to life as The Cat in the Hat leads the journey of Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird, and the sweet little boy, Jojo, who is constantly in trouble for thinking too many “thinks!” From the troubles deep in Whoville, to the Jungles of Nool and the Circus McGurkus, Seussical is a story of discovery, friendship and love for the whole family.
