Lakeshore Players Visits the World of Dr. Seuss in "Seussical The Musical" April 18- May 19

Lakeshore Players brings a new interpretation of the family-friendly show "Seussical The Musical" to stage this spring. In this version, a young bookworm named Jo Jo has an over-active imagination. So active in fact that Dr. Seuss stories come to life and take her on a big adventure with "The Cat in the Hat," "Horton the Elephant" and even "The Grinch."

The show is directed by Christopher Teipner and stars volunteer actors from across the Twin Cities, some returning to the Lakeshore stage, while others are appearing for the first time, many of the children's roles are double-cast.

There will be a $10 preview performance on Thursday, April 18. Full performances are April 19 through May 19, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m.

After the opening night show on April 19, attendees are invited to a free post-show reception.

On Sunday, April 21, pay-what-you-can general admission rush tickets are available one hour prior to show time, and there will be an audience talk back after the show. Funding support for this production was provided in part, through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.

Performances are at Lakeshore Players Theatre, 4820 Stewart Avenue in downtown White Bear Lake. Tickets are $18-$20 and may be reserved in advance by calling 651-429-5674, with remaining seats sold at the door starting two hours prior to show time. For further information, or to buy tickets online go to www.lakeshoreplayers.com.
