[NEohioPAL] Seussical the Musical at Theatre Agape Opens TONIGHT!

[Sarah Lynne Bailey]

Theatre Agápe presents Seussical the Musical!

As an Inclusive and Adaptive Theatre Experience




Experience Dr. Seuss as you’ve never seen it before!

Theatre Agápe is putting their service where their art is. As their 2nd
annual inclusive mainstage musical, rehearsals are underway for Seussical
the Musical to be presented as an adaptive production.


Implementing efforts to overcome barriers to entry, Theatre Agápe seeks to
build a sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive theatrical experience for the
benefit of ALL. The cast is filled with people of varying abilities –
neurodivergence, developmental disabilities, physical limitations – who
alongside neurotypical folks help to present the show.


The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a
speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off
to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double
challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and
dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the
irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger,
kidnapping 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.


Running November 8th-10th and 15th-17th, all performances are held at The
Cultural Arts Center at Disciples Christian Church on Mayfield Road in
Cleveland Heights. The facility is entirely ADA compliant, and further
accommodations for accessibility can be made.


All tickets are general admission and Pay-What-You-Like. All performances
are sensory-friendly and will offer a Sensory Break Room. This is the
perfect opportunity to introduce musical theater to “youngsters” or people
who have felt too intimidated by a typical theater setting.


Curtain for Friday and Saturday performances is 7:30pm with doors opening
at 7:00pm.

Curtain for Sunday performances is 3:00pm with doors opening at 2:30pm.
