By now, you all should know that tonight and tomorrow night the theater department will be presenting Seussical the Musical. I know several of you have put in countless hours to make this show incredible. I want to be on record as saying this is one of the BEST shows I have ever witnessed, and I've been around awhile! Since Mallory is a Who, I have been able to witness several of the rehearsals this week including the preview on Wednesday. I have been AMAZED by the talent and perseverance of our students! Miss Toliver and I have laughed and cheered so much! Brandon Smith is the ultimate Cat in the Hat, and who knew Phil Trent had such a wonderful voice, the perfect Horton? My jaw really dropped when I heard Katie Ankenbauer as the kangaroo--holy cow what a voice! I had a repeat jaw drop when I saw the fabulous Sydney Mann as the Amazing Mazie! Lauren Sutherland is a perfect Gertrude, too! From the band to the wonderful critters to the stage crew, you ALL are wonderful! However, my favorite part is, of course, the Whoville citizens since my own little Who is part of that scene! What a way to celebrate the talent of Goodpasture and recognize the classic Dr. Seuss!
As I've watched all of the performances this week and reflected on my favorites, I found myself thinking about all of the Dr. Seuss books my children and I have read. What fun stuff that talented man was able to produce! I think my favorite Dr. Seuss book is Oh, the Places You'll Go! I've read it numerous times over the years and love the ideas he presents as he reminds us that life is not always going to be a cake walk, but it certainly will be interesting and rewarding.
Now, it's your turn! I want to hear your thoughts. Type a 4-6 sentence, well-written response to BOTH parts of the following question. Be sure you post your comment no later than Thursday, March 7, by 3:00 pm. Here is your 2-part question:
