Join the journey in Dr. Seuss classic at the Auburn Ave
Published 3:16 pm Monday, April 23, 2012
See Dr. Seuss’ classics come to life in Book-It Theatre’s production of “The Lorax & The Sneetches and Other Stories” at the Auburn Avenue Theater at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Two great life lessons are packed into one from-the-books show.
In “The Lorax”, you’ll meet the fuzzy yellow Lorax who warns against the taking of the Truffula Trees. In the end, though, the future of the land rests in the hands of one little boy who holds the last remaining Truffula Tree seed.
In “The Sneetches and Other Stories”, you’ll meet the lovable Sneetches and their encounter with Sylvester McMonkey McBean, “the Fix-it-up Chappie,” and learn about the pointlessness of prejudice.
“The Lorax & Sneetches and other Stories” is part of Book-It Repertory Theatre’s educational wing, Book-It All Over. Dedicated to inspiring people of all ages to read, BIAO tours a diverse range of stories to schools, libraries and community centers throughout the state. All of their programs are specifically designed to offer youth a positive and active experience with literature.
BIAO brings books to vivid life on stage—literature becomes accessible, curriculum is enriched, students become passionate about reading, and art becomes an integral part of education.
Auburn Ave Kids showcases local, regional and national acts and touring presentations with an emphasis on audiences ages four through 12 and their parents. For a full listing of upcoming shows and to order tickets, visit www.auburnwa.gov/arts.
