Desert Foothills Theater Announces May-June Events
Scottsdale, AZ, April 17, 2019 --(PR.com)-- The Desert Foothills Theater will present entertainment for the whole family in May and June.
Seussical, Jr. opens on Friday, May 10. Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical, Jr., a fantastical musical extravaganza.
Transporting audience 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, all while protecting an abandoned egg. Although Horton faced ridicule, danger, and a trial, ultimately the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community emerge triumphant.
Seussical Performances are at 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, May 10, 11, 17 and 18, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, May 12 and 19. Performances take place in the Cactus Shadows Theater, 33606 N. 60th St., Scottsdale. Tickets are $19 and may be purchased at www.DFTheater.org.
Jojo’s Jolly Tea Party will take place in the Cactus Shadows Theater on one day, Sunday, May 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15, and may be purchased at www.DFTheater.org.
Desert Foothills Theater Summer Camps start in June and offer creative classes for kids of all ages. “We teach teamwork,” explains Tia Wooley, managing director of the Desert Foothills Theater. “Learning to be a team player will build skills in collaboration, problem solving, focus, creativity, confidence, accountability, dedication, non-verbal communication, how to receive constructive feedback, perseverance and more. Bring your ‘shining star’ to Desert Foothills Theater to learn how process meets performance. Your child will learn the ins and outs of theater life, make new friends and build confidence to be in front of a crowd.”
