AUDITIONS for Seussical
Sunday, March 12 @ 2:00 p.m.
Monday, March 13 @ 7:00 p.m.
Auditions will be held at the Broadway Bound Studios, 1315-C Gadsden Street in Columbia.
Performers of all ages will have the opportunity to portray the creations from the familiar Dr. Seuss fables – Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie La Bird, and Jojo, a little boy with a big imagination. These colorful figures (along with many more!) will transport audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
Auditions are open to males and females ages 4 to adult. All roles are available!
Performers with special skills -- such as acrobatics, juggling, etc. -- are also needed!

Oh, the thinks you can think!
Oh, the thinks you can think
If you're willing to try...
Think invisible ink!
Or a Gink with a stink!
Or a stair to the sky...
If you open your mind,
Oh, the things you will find
lining up to get loose...
Oh, the thinks you can think,
When you think about...
Seuss!
