Texas State’s Department of Theatre and Dance presents ‘Seussical’

Texas State’s Department of Theatre and Dance presents “Seussical,” by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty on April 19-24 in the Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre.

Directed by Ryan Scarlata in conjunction with music direction by Aimee Radics and choreography by Cassie Abate, the traditional “Seussical” is reimagined. Picture, if you will, a busy street. Perhaps a jungle made of concrete? And thousands of people with their noses to the grind. And a young kid named JoJo who feels left behind.

JoJo battles shame throughout the show while trying to conceal their uniqueness in the busy, conformist and oppressive world around them. With encouragement from The Cat in the Hat, JoJo learns to accept and love themself while showing the adults that when they truly open their minds, they can together create a world where anything’s possible.

“Seussical” opens on April 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre and runs through a matinee performance at 2 p.m. on April 24. Individual tickets start at $20 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets may be purchased online at txstatepresents.com.
