Welcome to The Biz Academy of Musical Theatre presents: "Seussical, Jr."! I'm excited your child is interested in auditioning! Auditions will be held on July 16th and 17th - sign up HERE...and don't forget to bring your AUDITION FORM.
During the production, we’re going to share a journey filled with fun and learning – including acting, singing, dancing…and an opportunity engage in key activities that will tie back to our production. We will perform the show on September 30th, October 1st, and October 2nd at Harmony Baptist Church in Avon.
Synopsis: If you aren't familiar with the show, here's the background: "Seussical, Jr." is based on the works of Dr. Seuss and weaves together his most famous tales and characters from at least fifteen of his books. The show follows the adventures of Horton, an elephant who one day hears voices coming from a speck of dust. He soon discovers that within this tiny speck exists the smallest planet in the universe! On this tiny planet live a tiny race of creatures known as Whos. Although ridiculed by the other animals in the Jungle of Nool for believing in something he cannot see, Horton stubbornly persists in his belief that the Whos exist. Traveling everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool, some of the characters fall in love, some have desperate adventures, and some even save the world.
