Seussical JR takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Amayzing Mayzie, and JoJo with iconic stories including Green Eggs and Ham, McGelligot's Pool, Oh The Thinks You Can Think, and Horton Hears a Who!
This musical adaption of the much loved children's story collection will humour even the grouchiest of Grinches and bring a spring to your step! Bursting from the page and onto the stage, our Junior Musical Theatre Program is packed to the brim with creativity, imagination, and the message of following your heart!
Join our Juniors (Grades 3-6) on this epic adventure!

TRAINING & PRODUCTION
Our youngest performers fit into one of two categories;
-
Show pony - itching to get onstage!
-
Ensemble player - just happy to quietly develop their skills in a class setting. No performance needed!
We have a pathway for every child!
Our RUGRAT Musical Theatre Program is built from creative play, allowing our students to develop their skills in singing, acting and dance in a safe and supportive environment all while working towards a performance in partnership with our JUNIOR students.
Perhaps DANCE is more your style? We have a 45min Jazz/Ballet hybrid class on Saturday mornings too. Or maybe DRAMA is your vibe! Also running for 45min on Saturday mornings. Do one, two, or all three classes and receive a discount!
