Seussical Show Info
Show Tuition
Show tuition will only be collected for students who are cast in the show.
- $400 for students who opt-out of having a parent/guardian participating in a production team
- $225 for students who opt-in to having a parent/guardian participating in a production team
- For students also registered for a class the show tuition will be reduced even further based on the automatic tuition scholarship (10-40%)
Here are a couple quick examples of how class and show tuition with the automatic tuition scholarship would work:
Example 1 - a single student taking 1 class who is cast in the show with a parent commiting to a production team
- $410 early bird class tution for the season
- $225 show tuition
- $635 - 10% automatic scholarship = $571.50 or $142.88/month
Example 2 - two students taking 1 class each who are both cast in the show with a parent commiting to a production team
- $410 x 2 = $820 early bird class tution for the season
- $225 x 2 = $450 show tuition
- $1,270 - 30% automatic scholarship = $889 or $222.25/month
The more class and show partipation in a single household the higher the automatic tuition scholarship is, with a cap of 40%.
See the bottom of this page for more details on our automatic tuition scholarships and other need based scholarship opportunities

SIDES: Unfortunately, due to the heavy singing and light dialogue of this particular show we will not be posting Sides here. Thanks for understanding. Please note that we do have a few vocal pieces for you to review. These may be used during the Audition process and at Callbacks. Click HERE for more information.
Rehearsal & Performance Information
Producing a successful musical is very rewarding, but it requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Theater is just like any team sport: all the players are important and when one performer is missing, it affects everyone. Before auditioning for the show, please make sure that you are aware of the large commitment involved in participating in this production:
Main Cast Rehearsals will be on Fridays from 5pm - 9pm and Saturdays from 9am - 2pm
Schedule: Performers must attend all of their scheduled rehearsals, however, please note that all students will not be needed for each rehearsal. A student’s individual rehearsal schedule will be based on the role that he or she is playing in the production. Cast members will receive a detailed rehearsal schedule on September 17th at the Read-Through.

About Seussical
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
Seussical is fun for the whole family! Performers of all ages will be excited to portray the characters from the familiar Dr. Seuss fables.

Crew
Technical Theater students will have the first opportunity to be crew for Seussical. If we need additional crew for the show we will open it up to other Lovegood students registered for other classes this season. Finally, if we don't fill up the crew from those options we will look outside to students not registered for classes with Lovegood this season.
We would love to have you join us this fall for Seussical! Make sure you have read through all the topics above and if you have any questions at all please reach out as we are happy to help!
