The Act Out Theatre Group has added an additional performance to cap off its monthlong run of \u201cSeussical the Musical\u201d at its performance space in Taylor.<\/p>\n
Kalen Churcher, the show\u2019s director, has dubbed the final show Seussical \u201cUnhinged.\u201d Since September, the Taylor theatre has been \u201cSeussified,\u201d with shows running every weekend. Though the show is described as having one large cast but different divisions that have led each weekend, the unhinged version is something very different.<\/p>\n
The idea came from some of the performers in the adult-led production.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of the adults were talking and suggested a truly combined version where the cast wasn\u2019t driven by one particular age group,\u201d said Churcher, of Plymouth. \u201cWe thought it might be fun to really change things up a bit, so we drew names from a hat as to who would play what part.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe definitely have folks who had not previously worked closely with one another now being scene partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
Churcher said that no one is playing a new part. For example, Dan Pittman, Chase Richmond and Lennon Chmil-Allan all played Horton in their respective adult-, teen- and youth-led divisions. Ultimately, Richmond\u2019s name was chosen to play the famous elephant who sits on an egg, in a nest, in a tree. Pittman\u2019s name was drawn to play General Genghis Khan Schmitz, and Chmil-Allan will play a Thing.<\/p>\n
Roughly 40 people will help bring the Planet of Who and Jungle of Nool to life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have never done anything like this before,\u201d said Pittman, who is also the theatre\u2019s owner and artistic director. \u201cWe have a very talented cast, though, and I think they\u2019re going to create something that is a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
According to Churcher, the group has met once to discuss some logistics, but the cast will not formally rehearse the show prior to performing it on stage.<\/p>\n
Miguel Rodriguez will reprise his role as The Cat in the Hat. He\u2019s excited to offer the humor one last time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cat in Seussical is so exciting and hilarious to play,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cThe cat has many jokes that anybody of any age could appreciate and love.\u201d<\/p>\n
The encore performance of Seussical will take place at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Act Out Theatre Group\u2019s performance space at 802 S. Main St., Taylor. All tickets are $15 and can be purchased online. Additional tickets, if available, will be sold at the door for $18.<\/p>\n
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
