All of your
favorite Dr. Seuss characters come to life on The Community House stage in
August! Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little
boy with a big imagination–Jojo will
transport you from the Jungle of Nool
to the Circus McGurkus to the
invisible world of the Whos.
Find out what's happening in Hamilton-Wenhamwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
The Cat in the Hat narrates the story
of Horton, an elephant who discovers and protects a speck of dust on which live
the Whos all while faithfully guarding 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.
Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are
challenged and emerge triumphant!
