DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Landry Thomas​
My love for the world of Dr. Seuss began as a young girl wide-eyed, imaginative, and lucky enough to play a Bird Girl in one of my first musical experiences in Seussical Jr. That magical experience sparked a lifelong affection for the whimsical world, clever rhymes, and big-hearted messages of Seuss’s stories. To now direct Seussical Jr. and share that joy with a new generation of performers feels like coming full circle.
​
This show is a beautiful reminder that a person’s a person, no matter how small, and that courage, friendship, and belief in oneself can change the world. Our cast and team has worked incredibly hard to bring these colorful characters to life with energy, humor, and heart. Whether you're a lifelong Seuss fan or discovering these stories for the first time, I hope tonight’s performance leaves you smiling a little wider and dreaming a little bigger.
​
Thank you for supporting the arts and cheering on our young storytellers. Let the thinks you can think take flight!
