Midcoast Youth Theater (MYT) will be holding auditions for “Seussical” Sept. 27 and 29 at the Mid-Coast Presbyterian Church, 84 Main St. in Topsham.

Adults and children in kindergarten and above are encouraged to audition, and everyone who does will have a role in the production. Specific age groups and role audition time slots are listed on our website. For more information, go to www.midcoastyouththeater.org or email eddie.hatrick@midcoastyouththeater.org

“Seussical” will be performed Jan. 9-12 at Crooker Theatre at Brunswick High School. The cast and crew of “Seussical” will bring to life many of Dr. Suess's most famous characters, including the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Myrtle the Turtle and a stage full of Whos, while weaving a narrative that incorporates elements of many of Dr. Seuss's most beloved stories. Through a production of amazing dances, memorable songs, and the rhyming refrains of Seussian-speak, everyone will learn the lesson that “a person's a person, no matter how small.”

MYT is a non-profit organization providing equal opportunities for all children to perform in full-length musicals, without regard for past experience or financial resources. We produce two multi-age shows (in the spring and fall) and youth-only shows in the summer divided by age groups. Our mission is to empower youth through a safe, nurturing theater experience, to build life skills with teamwork, creative problem solving, public speaking, risk taking and tolerance, while enhancing self awareness and self esteem.
