Youth Theatre Carson City presents Seussical The Musical, Jr. beginning July 25
Youth Theatre Carson City is thrilled to announce our upcoming production of SEUSSICAL, JR., an exciting adventure through the world of Dr. Seuss. The show will run two weekends, July 25 – August 3, 2014 in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center. SEUSSICAL, JR. is great fun for the whole family. Over 70 young local performers portray all the characters from the popular Dr. Seuss books in this fantastical musical extravaganza.
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who gets in trouble for thinking too many "thinks." Horton’s challenge is twofold – not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
The cast is comprised entirely of children ages five to eighteen. Leading the cast of over 70 local youth is the Cat in the Hat played by local favorites Trenton Lynn, 14, and Grant Davis, 17. Also featured are a cast of lively characters including Audrey Cook, 11, and Jacob Nichols, 11, as JoJo the Who and Aspen Kloehn, 17, as Horton the Elephant. Rounding out the cast are a host of young actors, singers and dancers bringing to life these timeless tales!
Youth Theatre Carson City is a new and exciting youth theatre company operating primarily at the Carson City Community Center as part of the Carson City Recreation Department.

Youth Theatre Carson City produces three to five fully- staged theatrical productions per year featuring all-youth casts, and offers stage crew and other technical opportunities to those youth wanting to be more “behind the scenes.”
Youth Theatre Carson City was founded by Northern Nevada native, Andie Anderson. Anderson has been a part of the arts community in Northern Nevada for over twenty years. She just recently earned her Master of Arts Degree in Theatre Education from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts and is ecstatic to be back in her hometown sharing her love of the arts with the young people of this community.
“I can’t be more proud of this cast,” commented Anderson. “This has been one of our most challenging productions to date and these students have more than risen to that challenge. SEUSSICAL, Jr. is a fabulous show that should not be missed.”
