“Set the stage” and put on a SEUSSICAL!
Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical Jr, a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, Once on This Island, Ragtime).
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many "thinks." Horton's challenge is twofold — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been 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!

Allison Clepper
Allison Clepper has had a passion for music and performance since a very young age. Her love for music was influenced by a musical mother and grandfather who taught her the importance of music in everyday life and encouraged her to keep singing. As a teenager, Allison was inducted into the Tri-M Music Honor Society. She performed in auditioned choir groups and school musicals. She was also involved in the yearly multi-cultural festival, singing German songs and performing traditional dances. She earned her degree in German Language and Literature with a minor in History from Allegheny College. While in college, she was classically trained in voice and performed in choir. In her spare time Allison enjoys reading, singing karaoke with friends, and researching genealogy. Allison and her husband Josh are proud parents to four musical children: Joelie (11), Declan (8), Verity (6), and Evie (2). Allison believes in the joy that music brings and its ability to foster connection and growth in all people. She can’t wait to see you in class!
