(left) The show starts out with a pretty big production number with quite a number of the characters from the various books on stage. That's the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Horton and Mayzie; Joyce is the Zebra in the back row. (right,) Before the show can actually go on, the rehearsals need to happen. Here the kids are, rehearsing with both casts at the same time! Charles standing guard in the upper left, background. |

(far left) Joyce stands in the middle of her fellow jungle denizens, awaiting instruction from the directors or choreographer. (left) Joyce is right behind the Cat, with her fellow Hunches! Ooooh, scary! |

(left) Still in rehearsals, here is Cat practicing riding the large trike on the small stage ... trying not to fall into the orchestra pit! (right) Jojo is studying Whooville with the Cat's looking glass. |

(above left) As opening night approaches, the company calls occur. Here the stage manager leads the cast in rousing cheers for a great show. After the show, the cast poses for candid photos and group shots.

(left) Finally, there is the opening night reception, complete with the cat's Hat Cake. (right, below) None of this can be done without the aide of the Staff: Mom as vocal coach, the directors Aaron and Jen, stage manager Charles, Ed the lighting magician, and choreographer Jenn. |
