Fall Workshop Production

Grades 3–8

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR.

Transporting 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, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

PARTICIPATION POLICY

For sessions 2-9: Each child is permitted one absence and 2 shadows. Session 1 (role placement) does not count towards our attendance policy since no material is being taught. Additional absences or shadows due to illness will be permitted solely at the discretion of the director.

For sessions 10 and 11: Children are required to attend and participate in (and may not shadow, arrive late to, or leave early from) our two mandatory rehearsals. These rehearsals include the dress rehearsal (session 10), and the final dress/performance (session 11), all of which are marked as mandatory on the rehearsal schedule. Please make sure to double-check your child’s schedule to ensure their availability for these mandatory rehearsals.

  • Our subsidized tuition prices make participating affordable to a more diverse community
  • Please consider paying the actual cost, and everything over the subsidized tuition amount will be a tax-deductible donation! This will help support our outreach efforts, which include providing scholarships, discounted tickets, and free performances to those in need

SCHOLARSHIPS

A limited number of financial aid packages are available. Please view our  Scholarship page for information and application.

REFUND POLICY

Random Farms is not offering refunds or credits unless we are unable to run the program or your group. In that case, credits and refunds will be available for the full value of the subsidized tuition.

WAIT LIST / PRIORITY REGISTRATION

There is no cost to join a waitlist. If a spot becomes available, we will email you and you can decide at that time if you would like to take it. If we are unable to get you off the waitlist, your child will receive priority registration for the next Workshop production. That means that you will be given the opportunity to register before the program opens to the public. Please contact hello@randomfarms.com with questions related to the waitlist.
