Picture
Aspire PAC's Summer production for ages 8-13 is
Seussical JR.! 


A musical perfect for the whole family, Seussical JR takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and JoJo. Seussical JR weaves a story of friendship, loyalty, and love. Despite all odds, Horton and Gertrude band together to save the Whos, free Horton, and restore peace and unity to the Jungle of Nool. Seussical JR teaches us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.

"Oh the Thinks You Can Think!" - Cat, Ensemble (Either Gender)
YOUTUBE TRACK
Oh, the Thinks you can think
Oh, the Thinks you can think!
Oh, the Thinks you can think
If you're willing to try...
Think invisible ink! Or a gink with a stink! Or a stair to the sky...
If you open your mind,
Oh, the Thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose...
Oh, the Thinks you can think When you think about...

Seuss!

​“It’s Possible” - JoJo, Ensemble (Either Gender)
YOUTUBE TRACK
This might be a pool like I’ve read of in books
Connected to one of those underground brooks!
An underground river that starts here and flows right under this bathtub! And then (Spoken) Who knows!
It’s possible!
Anything’s possible!
It might go along, down where no one can see, right under State Highway Two-Hundred-and-Three! Right under the wagons! Right under the toes of (Spoken) Mrs. Umbroso! Who's hanging out clothes!
It's possible! Anything's possible.


“Alone In the Universe” - Horton (Male)
YOUTUBE TRACK
There are secrets on a leaf,
In the water, in the air,
Hidden planets, tiny worlds,
All invisible!
Not a person seems to know.
Not a person seems to care.
There is no one who believes a thing I say... Well, I'm fairly certain at one time or other, Great Thinkers all feel this way!
I'm alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
I've found magic but they won't see it
They all call me a lunatic.
Ok, call me a lunatic.
If I stand on my own, so be it.
'Cause I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
Around the moon and far beyond the sky
And one day soon I know there you'll be
One small voice in the universe, One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me...

“The One Feather Tail of Ms. Gertrude McFuzz!” - Gertrude (Female)
YOUTUBE TRACK 
There once was a girl bird named Gertrude McFuzz
And she had the smallest plain tail ever was.
One droopy-droop feather. That's all that she had. And oh!
That one feather made Gertrude so sad.
She curled it. She dyed it. She gave it a puff.
She decked it with flowers but it wasn't enough
For no matter what, it just was what it was
A tail that simply wasn't meant...
To catch the eye of an elephant...
The one feather tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz


“Notice Me, Horton” - Gertrude (Female)
YOUTUBE TRACK
Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather.
This is your next-door neighbor calling!
Notice me, Horton.
Horton, together
We could be great
Oh, notice me, Horton
Put down the clover!
This is your next door neighbor calling.
There's a new leaf
Your neighbor's turned over


“Amazing Mayzie” - Mayzie (Female)
YOUTUBE TRACK
I was once a plain little bird like you, kid. One pathetic feather was all I grew.
I had nothing showoff-ish.
What's a plain bird to do?
And there's certainly nothing showoff-ish on you!
Then I made a plan for my self-improvement.
(Spoken) No more crumbs. I vowed I would have the cake!
Yes, I went to the doctor--
And he told me what sort of a pill I should take.
Now I'm... ... ... Amayzing Mayzie!
As feathered as feathered can be now!
Amayzing Mayzie!
It was all for sale!

What Our Clients Are Saying

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all that were involved in the production of the play. Really top notch and very enjoyable. My granddaughter was in it and loves what she does. I've never seen a play where everyone, not just two or three, were absolutely FANTASTIC! I mean everyone. You all should be very proud of them and yourselves. I never enjoyed myself as much as I did. Thank you and keep up the great work you do, it's because of people like you the world has hope.
