Seussical the Musical
02/03/2012 to 02/05/2012
Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Once On This Island) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination–Jojo. “Oh, the Thinks You Can Think” captures the show’s spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge–not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes “his kind and his powerful heart.” Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.
Seussical is presented through special arrangement with MTI (Musical Theatre International)

Chronicling a relatively unknown chapter in Civil Rights history, Ruth and the Green Book follows an African American family as they travel from Chicago to Alabama in the Jim Crow South of the 1950s.

With this guide, Ruth’s family, like many others, learned where they would be welcome. Using an innovative combination of puppetry and animated projections inspired by the book’s evocative illustrations, this collaboration between Artistic Director Jon Ludwig and author Calvin Alexander Ramsey celebrates this great book that helped pave the direction to an America where everyone is welcome.

Set in Chicago in the volatile time period between 1973 and 1983, Samuel L. Kelley’s Pill Hill simmers with the energy of six African-American mill workers searching for an elusive American Dream. Beneath the bleak bravado of the six friends’ lives lies a sense of loss, detachment, and resentment. We meet people who never have a chance for advancement and others who progress but are besieged by questions of guilt and responsibility. Those who succeed in “Pill Hill” pay a severe price, although some steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the consequences
