Center Stage Productions presents Seussical as its annual MainStage production August 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th 2025. As our 40th Anniversary MainStage, Seussical will involve performers of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate our passionate mission for arts education and mentorship as we strive to create an experience with this production that is truly and uniquely CSP.
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 and beyond!
Check back soon for audition information so you can have an opportunity to be a part of this imaginative and fantastical production!
