Whimsical “Seussical” Comes to Life at Mount Vernon Community Children’s Theatre
Performances March 7-8 and 14-15 at Bryant High School, 2709 Popkins Lane, Alexandria
Alexandria, VA — Mount Vernon Community Children’s Theatre (MVCCT) proudly presents Seussical, the high-energy musical that celebrates friendship, community, and believing in what others can’t yet see. Beloved Dr. Seuss characters leap from the page to the stage as imagination runs wild and hearts grow three sizes.
Weaving classic Dr. Seuss tales together, including Horton Hears a Who!, The Cat in the Hat, and Gertrude McFuzz, Seussical reminds audiences of all ages that “a person’s a person, no matter how small.” Colorful costumes, playful choreography, and toe-tapping music promise fun for the whole family.
MVCCT and West Potomac High School alum Emily Carbone returns to MVCCT to direct the joyful production and guide the next generation of actors on stage. “Seussical was one of the first musicals to really make me fall in love with theatre,” she said. “To go from watching MVCCT’s production 20 years ago, to now leading a new generation of young actors, has been so special, especially with the amount of talent and dedication everyone has brought to the process. These kids have been nothing short of incredible.”
The cast features 44 talented young performers from more than 20 local schools, highlighting MVCCT’s commitment to providing children and teens in Northern Virginia with the opportunity to learn and grow through theatre.
Performances will take place at Bryant High School, located at 2709 Popkins Lane, Alexandria, VA 22306, on the following dates and times: Saturdays, March 7 and 14, at 2 and 7 p.m.; Sundays, March 8 and 15, at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $18 and are on sale now at www.MVCCT.org. Families, friends, and Seuss fans of all ages are invited to join the adventure!
