AUDITION SIGN UPS COMING SOON

Welcome to Seussical!

As you prepare for your audition, we encourage you to bring your creativity, confidence, and individuality into the room. Seussical is a celebration of imagination, storytelling, and community, and we are looking for performers who are excited to collaborate and bring this unique world to life.

Please come prepared, take creative risks, and be open to exploring the material. Every role, from principal to ensemble, is an important part of the production, and we look forward to discovering the strengths each performer brings to the company.

We look forward to seeing you at auditions and beginning this exciting journey together.

Break a leg!

– Brooke Gamble, Artistic Director

“Bring your wonder, your voice, your heart, and your feet,

This Seussian world without you could be incomplete!

This show is such a joyous, vibrant celebration of imagination and the power of standing up for your beliefs, no matter how small you may seem.

We are looking for the bold, the energetic, the unique, the brave, and above all, The Thinkers. And if you don’t think that is you, come out and audition anyway – you may surprise yourself!

Between the rhymes and the whimsy, Seussical is so full of heart. I am excited to meet you.

Break a leg!

– Jessica Seguin, Director

“Oh, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’ best-loved characters collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper!

Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime), 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. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
