“We are thrilled to bring the enchanting world of Dr. Seuss to life on our stage,” said Nathan Simmons, NSTC’s executive director.
“ ‘Seussical’ is a show that truly captures the imagination and reminds us of the importance of embracing our differences, standing up for what we believe in, and never underestimating the power of a small act of kindness.”
