Walking through the theater
doors, audience members that came to see Seussical, the week eight show,
were surprised to see how elaborately decorated the theater was. |

While a staff meeting was going
on in the theater lobby, campers were treated to a pre show short film
based on Dr. Seuss' book, The Lorax. |

After dancing to some pre-set
theme music, the audience took their seats. It was show time! |

The Cat in the Hat, the show's narrator emerged from a big top hat
placed in the middle of the stage. Then, the cast broke out in song,
singing about the creativity of the human mind. |

The plot then focuses on Horton the elephant, who claims he hears a
noise from a flower. |

Much to everyone's surprise, Horton was right! (He didn't know it at the
time though. Dramtic irony at its best!) There was a whole city living
on that flower, including the mayor, his wife, and his son! |

The whole cast then came out to sing about it! |

Horton then meets Mayze the
bird, who asks Horton to watch over her egg for a little while. |

It turned out that Mayze was a
liar! Horton watched over the egg for much longer than he should have. |

The Cat in the Hat then informed
the audience that poor Horton had been sold to the circus! |

Mayze eventually finds Horton at
the circus, and she gets her egg back! |

The last scene of the show shows
that Horton realizes that there is actually something living on the
flower. The residents of the flower are thankful for Horton. |

The audience then came out for
their final bows, and with the shake of Stu's booty, the show was over. |

Much thanks goes out to Rachel,
John, Pascale, Al, and Celil for making this show happen in such a short
amount of time! |
