You may not like Green Eggs and Ham, but you’ll love Seussical the Musical, presented by Stage Left Productions on July 24 and 25, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. each day, at San Marcos High School Theater.
Celebrating its 21st year, Stage Left Productions is back inside the theater after the pandemic pushed the annual summer performing arts program outside with a virtual show in 2020. The Seussical cast includes 60 talented performers ages 10-17.
COVID protocols will be in place—we are asking our audience to wear masks. The theater capacity is 1,200 and allows for ample social distancing.
Based on the book Horton Hears a Who and other whimsical stories by Dr. Seuss, Seussical features The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, JoJo and many other beloved characters in this musical created by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
The story takes place in the magical Jungle of Nool, where Horton discovers and tries to protect the tiny people of Whoville who live on a speck of dust. Horton faces ridicule and a trial, but Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. This seriously silly, wildly witty tale of love and imagination shows the power of friendship, family and community in overcoming life’s biggest challenges.
Stage Left, created and developed by Shana Lynch Arthurs and Steven Lovelace, offers an intensive four-week summer performing arts program with instruction in dancing, singing, acting, set and costume design, and technical training. Since its founding in 2001, the Stage Left camp has created 20 full-length musical productions and entertained thousands of families in the Santa Barbara area.
Director Shana Arthurs teaches performing arts at Crane Country Day School. Steven Lovelace is a choreographer and former director of Santa Barbara Dance Arts. The Stage Left team includes Sarah Eglin, musical direction and vocal training; Jonathan Mitchell leads sets, lighting, and sound; and costume design is under the direction of Q Le.
Seussical is a delight for kids and adults of all ages. Four performances at San Marcos High School Theater, 4750 Hollister Avenue, Saturday and Sunday, July 24 and 25th. Show times 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. both days. Tickets available at the door: $15.00 General Admission, $25.00 Reserve Seating. Info at www.stageleftsb.com or email stageleft@cox.net.
