The Steel River Playhouse at 245 E. High Street in Pottstown is kicking off its 2023-2024 season with Seussical the Musical, with book by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, music by Stephen Flaherty, and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.

Director Lisa Hendricks and Music Director Nathan M. Kendrick are joined by Choreographer Isabella Yackanicz and a talented cast of student performers who are part of The Bridge Program.

This is the first time a Bridge Production has been included as part of the playhouse’s season subscription. The Bridge Production is a hybrid of its Education and Mainstage Programming. These older, more advanced students between the ages of 13 and 21 must audition to participate in this program.

Come dive into the colorful world of Doctor Seuss as The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who sets off to save a speck of dust containing The Whos from destruction. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of doubters while guarding an abandoned egg left to his care. Ultimately the powers of friendship, imagination, loyalty, and community are challenged and emerge victorious. 

Seussical the Musical will run from August 11th through August 20th. Performances will be at 7 PM on August 11th, 12th, 18th and 19th. Matinees will be at 2 PM on August 12th, 13th, and 20th.

In addition, there will be a relaxed performance at 2 PM on Saturday, August 19th.

The running time for the show is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes with one intermission. Tickets are $29 for adults, $24 for Seniors (65+), and $17 for Students.
