Kids on Stage Announces Seussical Jr Classes, Beg. 9/13

Kids On Stage Fall Program presents SEUSSICAL Jr. classes starting September 13, 2011.

Introduce your children to the world of musical theater! The FTAC's Performing Arts School program, Stars on Stage, offers children a valuable experience in both theater arts and music. Children will develop singing, dancing and drama skills for a public performance held at the Forum Theatre at the end of each class series. (Please note: We offer a generous multiple class discount - sign up for more than one class OR sign up more than one child and save 15% on each additional class.)

In this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza, Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (LUCKY STIFF, MY FAVORITE YEAR, ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, and RAGTIME) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart." Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.

Registration will be on August 31 and September 8 from 5:30 to 7pm. If you can't make those dates you can always register by emailing Peter Loewy at peter@forumtheatrearts.org and we'll send you an application or call the theatre at 732.548.5600 and leave a message.

Classes are for students from 8 to 13 years of age. No experience nessesary, only a desire to learn! Tuition is $450 for the 10 week program and $425 if paid in full by September 13.

Performances are November 18, 19, 20 On The Forum Stage
