On April 24-26, featuring a cast of over 60 students and adults, The Purple Masque Players jumped into the world of Dr. Seuss in their spring musical "Seussical the Musical". Combining 15 of Dr. Seuss’ classic stories into one wonderful musical Seussical follows many of our favorite characters - including Horton the elephant (C. Harris), the Grinch and the Whos in Whoville (A. White and M. Benenson), and Getrude (S. Wathen)

While the main cast presented three evening shows and one to the parochials schools, the understudies had an opportunity to perform on Saturday afternoon.
