END NOTES
Notes from the Director:
First, let’s talk choice of show- Seussical is so near and dear
to my heart as I was blessed to perform in the show myself
in 2005 with my now adult children when they were 7 and 10
and now I get to share it with my two youngest children. The
world of Dr. Seuss is so vast and forgiving and open to
everyone’s imagination. The fact that I can share how I
interpret the pages of books we all know and love is a blessing
in itself. This cast of 36 has multiple levels and styles of
talents which made it perfect to tell this very colorful story.
They started the journey not fully knowing what they were
getting themselves into but their level of commitment has
grown every day. I thank you all for coming along on the
journey with us and major virtual hugs to those of you who
have shared your talented kids with us!!! Thank you to Phil
Shelburne for sharing a piece of the original set I worked
with in 2005, Mayzie’s tree! Thank you to Steve Huntsman
and Angie Roundy for the amazing tub contribution! Thank
you to Christine for “All the Things”. Thank you to Mr.
Michael for helping the cast sound fabulous and for all of
your support. Asher…. Your amazing artistic talent in bringing
this set to life is a wonderment! This show wouldn’t have been
possible without Lauren Kingham as a right hand man!!!!
Finally, thank you to Tory, Gina, Stephanie and Paige for
trusting me with such an amazing project!!!!
“Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be
remembered” - Ms Jenn
