From the Director…
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the first publication of The Cat-in-the-Hat
by Dr. Seuss (a.k.a. Theodor Seuss Geisel). That in itself is evidence of
the significant impact and timeless nature that the Dr. Seuss stories have
brought to the last several generations of readers, both young and young-at-heart.
In recent years, many of these iconic Dr. Seuss characters have been
brought to life in major motion picture films, yet even more proof that the life
lessons that Dr. Seuss has so brilliantly woven into seemingly simple tales,
transcends time, culture and socioeconomic status.
With Seussical, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens have done an amazing job
of combining over 18 of the Seuss books into one seamless, heartwarming
story of unconditional love and commitment, sprinkled with laughter and tears.
It’s taken over 50 volunteer actors, over 70 volunteer production crew members
and literally hundreds of hours of their time so that we, the Actorsingers
could bring this magical story to life. As creative artists we are often asked,
“How can you dedicate so much of your time just to put on one show?” and I
believe our long-time technical director Dennis Schneider puts it best when he
says, “We do it all for the audience.” So, on behalf of the Actorsingers volunteer
cast and crew of Seussical, we want to say a big “Thank you!” to You, our
beloved audience. We hope that if you like what you see that you will bring
even more wonderful audience members for us to thank the next time.
– Marc Michael Murai
