You may not like green eggs and ham, but “Seussical the Musical,” presented by Stage Left Productions, is sure to suit most anyone’s taste. With a cast of 60 performers, ages 10-17, “Seussical” will be performed at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. July 24-25 at San Marcos High School Theater, 4750 Hollister Ave.

Celebrating its 21st year, Stage Left Productions is back inside the theater after the pandemic pushed the annual summer performing arts program outside with a virtual show in 2020. During “Seussical” performances, COVID-19 protocols will be in place and audience members are asked wear masks. The theater capacity is 1,200, allowing for ample social distancing.

Based on the book “Horton Hears a Who” and other whimsical stories by Dr. Seuss, “Seussical” features The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, JoJo and other beloved characters in this musical created by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.

The story takes place in the magical Jungle of Nool, where Horton discovers and tries to protect the tiny people of Whoville who live on a speck of dust. Horton faces ridicule and a trial, but Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. This silly, witty tale of love and imagination shows the power of friendship, family and community in overcoming life’s biggest challenges.

Stage Left, created and developed by Shana Lynch Arthurs and Steven Lovelace, offers an intensive four-week summer performing arts program with instruction in dancing, singing, acting, set and costume design, and technical training. Since its founding in 2001, the Stage Left camp has created 20 full-length musical productions and entertained thousands of families in the Santa Barbara area.

Director Arthurs teaches performing arts at Crane Country Day School. Lovelace is a choreographer and former director of Santa Barbara Dance Arts. The Stage Left team includes Sarah Eglin, musical direction and vocal training; Jonathan Mitchell leads sets, lighting and sound; and costume design is under the direction of Q Le.

Tickets available at the door: $15 general admission, and $25 reserve seating. For more information, visit www.stageleftsb.com or email stageleft@cox.net.
