LMP’s 2013 Summer Youth Production, The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing 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 to 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.

Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). Tickets are $18 for general admission. Admission for students (18 and under), active duty military and seniors (65 and over) is $15. For reservations, please call 301-617-9906 and press 2.
