From the moment his tall, red-and-white-striped hat appears around the door, Sally and her brother know that the cat in the hat is the funniest, most mischievous cat they have ever met. With the trickiest of tricks and craziest of ideas, he is certainly fun to play with. And he turns a rainy afternoon into an amazing adventure. But what will mom find when she gets home...?
Michael J. Bobbitt, Producing Artistic Director of Adventure Theatre MTC says of the production, "Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss and the Cat in the Hat. And with such a familiar voice as Guy Raz from NPR as the narrator, audiences will be truly delighted. I am thrilled to have Karin Abromaitis (Go, Dog. Go! And Five Little Monkeys) back and in cahoots with the mischievously charming, Rick Hammerly and several acrobatic kids in the roles of Thing One and Thing Two. Honestly, I don't know what will happen and that's a really good thing."
