The Performance Ensemble Group, an after-school theatre program for sixth, seventh and eighth graders at Rundlett Middle School, will present their spring musical this week.

Seussical The Musical Jr. will be staged in the New Activity Room at Rundlett Middle School on April 21 through 23 at 7 p.m.

Some of Dr. Seuss’ most memorable characters come together in Seussical as the Cat in the Hat narrates the tale of Horton the Elephant, a speck of dust home to a village of Whos, and the lazy Mayzie Le Bird.

Karen Braz will be directing the students for her eighth year with the group, which has been presenting fall plays and spring musicals for more than 20 years.

Tickets are $9 for students and seniors, $11 for adults. They can be purchased at the door, and also at the website our.show/rundlett-middle-school-performance-ensemble-group/2632.
