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.

Description:

It is Christmas 1183 and you’re invited to a family gathering and to bear witness to King Henry II of England’s announcement of who will succeed him on the throne. But which one of Henry & Eleanor’s sons will be the next king? Unlike Lear, Henry won’t divide his house. Henry wants John, Eleanor wants Richard and no one, except Geoffrey, wants Geoffrey.

Philip, King of France, is demanding the marriage of his sister, Alais, to Richard. But Richard doesn’t want her and Henry does.

So, in may ways, it’s just your typical holiday get-together with lots of family drama. Power and allegiances shift as the players vie for the throne – the one constant being the deep love between Henry & Eleanor.

Join Lumina’s newest performing group – The Raye Players for one of the funniest, devious, romantic holiday celebrations ever.
