Seussical, the Musical is a celebration of imagination and community, weaving together beloved stories from the world of Dr. Seuss.

Kelsey Theater also holds auditions for “The 39 Steps,” adapted from the film by Alfred Hitchcock and produced by: Maurer Productions OnStage, Inc.
Only four actors play more than 50 characters in what becomes a feat of herculean hilarity and hairpin turns in this two-time Tony Award-winning whodunit in which a chance encounter with an ill-fated beautiful spy sends Richard Hannay into the bullseye of a dangerous international crime ring.
