“Now, imagine a curtain and what lies behind; the kind of a place you might see in your mind.” The characters of Dr. Seuss spring to life in this fantastical musical exploring themes of friendship, loyalty, family, and community. Narrated by the Cat in the Hat, Seussical Jr. follows Horton the elephant as he discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton faces ridicule and danger as he fights to protect those smaller than him, but luckily, his faithful companion Gertrude McFuzz is by his side.

  • All CDC and city health guidelines will be strictly followed.  See our full COVID Guidelines.
  • Campers are not permitted to share food.
