Dallesport Elementary School will present its spring musical "Seussical Jr" on Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24, at 7 p.m. in the school's multipurpose room.
"Seussical Jr." incorporates characters from 15 of Dr. Seuss' books, as well as many of his best-loved and most familiar characters. All these characters meet in the musical. Some fall in love, some have desperate adventures and some will save the world. And, they'll travel everywhere from the Jungle of Nool to McEligott's Pool in Palm Beach.
Dr. Seuss believes in helping a friend, in not giving up and keeping a promise. He believes in values and dignity of others, in working to preserve the fragile sweetness of the natural world, and he believes that peace is the ultimate ideal among nations in every heart. He also believes in the power of imagination.
