Southgate Community Players' Young People's Theatre Presents SEUSSICAL JR.

SCP's Young People's Theatre will take the stage at the newly renovated Corner Playhouse as the Dr. Seuss characters you know and love in Seussical Jr. This fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, transports audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus. The Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers. Watch as Horton faces ridicule and danger! Will the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community help him to emerge triumphant? Come see the show and find out!

Tickets can be purchased by calling (734) 735-2669. This production will be held at Southgate Community Players Corner Playhouse located at 12671 Dix-Toledo, Southgate, MI 48195.

The objectives of the Southgate Community Players are to study and promote community theater, to encourage talent and to afford the membership opportunities to work with and in dramatic productions. Also to help foster cultural interests in this organization and the community and to always maintain high standards of entertainment.

In 1957, two members of the St. Pius parish church in Southgate set out to present a minstrel show. After that initial show, plans were made to continue this new-found tradition. They elected officers and instituted a constitution and from those humble beginnings, the St. Pius Players were born. Initially original scripts were written and performed by members. This group would later break ties with St. Pius and join the Community Theatre Association of Michigan becoming known as the Southgate

Community Players. Currently SCP presents their Main Stage season of two musicals and a straight show, alongside other productions at the Corner Playhouse, including their youth productions, and interactive shows.

Southgate Community Players are happy to be in their 61st season. Some of SCP's past productions include: Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Miserables, A Chorus Line, Annie, Miss Saigon, The Odd Couple, West Side Story, City of Angels, Spring Awakening, Avenue Q, Steel Magnolias, Rent, Guys and Dolls, The Rocky Horror Show, Disney's Beauty & the Beast, Chicago, Disney's The Little Mermaid, Laramie Project, Into the Woods
