NHMS presents "Seussical Jr."

North Hills Middle School Drama Club presents the 2025 winter musical production of Seussical Jr. on Thursday-Saturday, January 30-February 1 at 7pm in the middle school auditorium.  Nearly 100 students in grades 6-8 come together to for the annual show as cast, running/set crew, hair/make-up crew, and light/sound crew members, ushers, as well as several high school student directors.

All seats are reserved and can be purchased beginning January 18 by clicking the links below through HomeTown Ticketing (the same ticketing platform used for athletic events).  Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens (65+).  All audience members are asked to enter the building using the library entrance.  Doors open at 6:30pm on the night of each performance, and parents will have congratulatory gifts for sale in the lobby upon arrival.

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical Jr., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.

​Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird.  Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.  Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
