Dr. Seuss’ The Cat In The Hat Offers Grand Chaos, Inventively Staged

... to its young audience. If you haven’t been a child or read to one in the past 60 years, here’s a brief synopsis: a boy and his sister Sally have been left home alone by their mother, with no one but their pet fish for company. It’s raining, and they’re bored, until a bump announces the arrival of the Cat in the Hat, who—along with his friends, Thing One and Thing Two—unleashes chaos and makes a huge mess in their house, all in the name of “fun that is funny”. Katie Mitchell’s adaptation, originally produced by the National Theatre of Great Britain, complements Seuss’s simple, rhymed text with lots of physicality, and director Carole Higgins and her cast do an excellent job of fine-tuning the characters’ synchronized movements and exaggerated gestures. A lot of the action is presented through the reactions of Mack Gordon’s Boy and Lauren Jackson’s Sally as their wide eyes and craned necks trace the trajectory of the Cat’s high jinks. Gordon and Jackson are exquisitely bewildered narrators of their adventures. ...

Dr. Seuss' Whimsical World Alive At Ipfw

... year in a row, staff members at the headquarters for all things mastodon hosted a birthday celebration for Theodor Seuss Geisel, known to generations of young readers as Dr. Seuss. Had he not died in 1991, Seuss would turn 113 on Thursday. Jamie Sinninger, assistant bookstore manager, said Seuss’ works, with their silly rhymes and use of easy rhyming words, have become timeless. On Saturday, children could get to know the good doctor by doing crafts, coloring activity sheets and checking out their favorite Seuss stories on new i Pads. They could have Seuss storybooks read to them – in English and Spanish – or even pause for a selfie with The Cat in the Hat as portrayed by 18-year-old Tin Oo of Fort Wayne, an IPFW business student. That’s how Michelle Mendez, 7, and her cousin Kimberly Sanchez, 5, both of Fort Wayne, were ending their visit. Michelle’s dad, Gregorio Mendez, 39, brought them to the event. Also accompanied by his daughter Dulce Mendez, 3, Gregorio Mendez said the older girls are Seuss fans. Michelle prefers “the Grinch book,” he said, referring to “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”. Michelle, a second-grader, is just learning to read, ...
