It’s a great place for hands-on activities. It’s a great place to take a dip. It’s a great place to get outside and recreate. New Holland Community Park is a great place to attend summer camp. “New Holland is an amazing, R126568

The colorful world of Dr. Seuss will leap from the page to the sta ge when E ncore! Home School Productions presents “Seussical,” a musical adventure that weaves together some of the author’s most beloved stories and characters. The show will be performed at T he Junction Center, 1875 Junction Road, Manheim, at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 29. Narrated by the Cat in the Hat, the musical follows Horton the Elephant, who discovers a tiny speck of dust that holds an entire world known as Whoville. Among the Whos is Jojo, a child sent to military school because of his overactive imagination. Horton soon finds himself facing two big responsibilities: protecting the Whos from those who refuse to believe they exist and caring for an egg that the carefree Mayzie La Bird leaves in his charge. Along the way, Horton endures ridicule, danger, kidnapping and even a trial, while the loyal Gertrude McFuzz continues to believe in him. In the end, the story celebrates the strength of friendship, loyalty, family and community. “‘Seussical’ is a combination of about 40 different Dr. Seuss books,” explained Elijah Smith, who plays Horton in the show. “ The main stor yline follows Horton when he hears a Who and also the sequel to the book where he sits on the egg. It also follows the lives of the Whos down on the dust speck and their troubles and trials.”
