witf is partnering with the Luhrs Center in Shippensburg to bring you Seussical, Saturday, March 17th at 11 and 2.

Dr. Seuss’s best-loved stories collide and cavort in this unforgettable musical caper.  Adapted from the Broadway version, this adaptation is designed especially for younger audiences.  Kids will love seeing The Cat in the Hat as host and emcee in this romp through the Seuss classics.

When the sweet, good-natured elephant, Horton, hears a small cry for help coming from a small speck of dust, he promises to rescue and guard it because “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”

Meanwhile, the one-feathered bird, Miss Gertrude McFuzz, desperately wants Horton to notice her.  Maybe, she thinks, she just needs a more impressive tail.  At the same time, the amazingly lazy Mayzie La Bird convinces Horton to sit on her egg while she goes off on a spree.

Will the planet of Who survive?  Will Horton pay attention to Gertrude?  Will Mayzie ever return for her egg?  Dr. Seuss’s beloved classic characters find themselves intertwined in an incredible crazy-quilt adventure, in which the power of imagination and the most miraculous “think” ever save the day!

You can enter to win a pair of tickets to see Seussical LIVE!

Deadline to enter is Monday March 12, 2012.

Before Tuesday's devastating earthquake, only half the people in Haiti had access to clean, safe drinking water.  Only a third utilize sanitary sewage systems.  That was before Tuesday's earthquake.  Haiti is one of the poorest nations on earth and the destruction caused by the quake has taken the suffering to a new level.  It's estimated more than 50,000 may have died.  Hundreds of thousands of others were injured.  Relief is being rushed to Haiti from the U.S., including from organizations and people in Central Pennsylvania.

 

The time to give is now.
