Donoso works at a child’s care facility where the Dr. Seuss movies are still played and the books are read to the children.

Events will be held district wide at elementary schools with guests from the community visiting select schools to read various Dr. Seuss stories to classes.

Dr. Seuss’ The Cat In The Hat Offers Grand Chaos, Inventively Staged

... raining, and they’re bored, until a bump announces the arrival of the Cat in the Hat, who—along with his friends, Thing One and Thing Two—unleashes chaos and makes a huge mess in their house, all in the name of “fun that is funny”. Katie Mitchell’s adaptation, originally produced by the National Theatre of Great Britain, complements Seuss’s simple, rhymed text with lots of physicality, and director Carole Higgins and her cast do an excellent job of fine-tuning the characters’ synchronized movements and exaggerated gestures. A lot of the action is presented through the reactions of Mack Gordon’s Boy and Lauren Jackson’s Sally as their wide eyes and craned necks trace the trajectory of the Cat’s high jinks. Gordon and Jackson are exquisitely bewildered narrators of their adventures. Mike Stack’s ...
