Showtimes are May 16 at 7 p.m., and May 17 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.“Seussical! Jr." is a story of friendship and faithfulness, tying together myriad beloved characters from the world of Dr. Seuss. When Horton the elephant hears a desperate cry for help echoing from the tiny world of Who, little does he know that this will catapult him into a journey the likes of which he's never known. Can he convince his tormentors that the Whos really do exist in time to save a whole world?
