SLCT’s Children’s Theatre Rehearsals Begin November 14

Horton the Elephant is at it again! And Chandler Unified School District kindergarteners and first graders couldn’t be happier! Horton Hears a Who is being performed in 28 different venues, and kids are thoroughly entertained. The volunteer cast travels every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning, January through March, to let children experience live theater. Teachers receive a workbook/hand-out to distribute after each performance that refers to the show and encourages students to count, draw, and comment on what they have seen. Most importantly, the kids truly enjoy the costumed actors; laughing, applauding, and engaging in the story written originally by Dr. Seuss and adapted by Sun Lakes Community Theatre’s (SLCT) own Roger Edmonds. Actors say the joy they see on the faces of the students makes the early morning trips quite worth it. This year, the shows are again directed by Sandy Bocynesky. The shows will begin on Jan. 7, 2025, and run through March 6, 2025.
