Seussical Jr., incorporates  ideas and characters from at least 15 Dr. Seuss books.Some of the characters have not met before, but they meet in the musical which blends together some of Dr. Seuss’ famous tales. Dr. Seuss encourages helping a friend, keeping a promise, the value of others, keeping peace and the power of imagination.

“This wonderful musical encourages all of these ideas, especially the power of imagination,” said  Benita Finney, director.

The Performing Arts Club of DCECHS has been working for months to bring this show to life.  Students are not only starring in the production, but they have also contributed to painting and creating sets, props, and costumes.
