Welty Middle School in New Philadelphia presents its winter musical, Seussical, Jr. The show is based on the works of Dr. Seuss and weaves together his most famous tales and characters from at least 15 of his books. The show follows the adventures of Horton, an elephant who one day hears voices coming from a speck of dust. He soon discovers that within this tiny speck exists the smallest planet in the universe. On this tiny planet live a tiny race of creatures known as Whos. Although ridiculed by the other animals in the Jungle of Nool for believing in something he cannot see, Horton stubbornly persists in his belief that the Whos exist. Traveling everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott’s Pool, some of the characters fall in love, some have desperate adventures and some even save the world. Cast members include; Lindsey Ames, Sydney Banks, Brooke Davis, Rachel Gibbs, Harlee Hamilton, Kylie Harris, Kyle Herschel, Briana Hickman, Kelaiah Kneuss, Julie McClain, Maddy McDade, Taylor McInturf, Hannah Orr, Terria Pongratz, Macie Raber, Marisa Rowley, Aaron Sims, Elle Stokey, Kyle Swinderman, Haley Thacker, Mitch Tulak, Josie Waugh, Luke Weaver, Maddie Wherley, Emily Wincek, Alex Wortman, and Tristin Wright. The show dates are Feb. 12-14, and it will be held in the Welty Middle School auditorium. Friday and Saturday night performances are at 7:30 p.m., and the Sunday matinee will begin at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students/senior citizens and will be available at the door.
