“The second and third-year students have been working feverishly—and joyfully! — on their upcoming production of Seussical the Musical. This funny, zany, heartfelt musical is an excellent showcase for the many spectacular talents of the Music Theatre – Performance students and will be fun for the whole family!” said Kyle Golemba, Professor and Music Theatre Placement Liaison at SLC.
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos. Horton faces a double challenge–not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg left in his care. Although Horton faces ridicule and danger, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

Meg has more than one story to tell, and she’s sure to tickle your funny bone. Set in the Rosewood Retirement Home, octogenarian Meg Miller loves to recall the days she spent growing up in the Ottawa Valley back in the 1950s and ’60s.
Written by storyteller/author Deborah Dunleavy, Meg Miller’s Shenanigans column appears regularly in the South Grenville Beacon newspaper. In her live presentation, audiences hear all about Meg’s monkey business – from her driving adventure in the back fields, to the time her toy rocket misfired.

For years, Deborah has entertained audiences with her stories and characters, notably Bea Tompkins in At The Canoe Club Dance and several characters in Battlefield Petticoats – Women in the War of 1812. She has performed nationally from Labrador to Vancouver Island and internationally to Ireland, Scotland, the People’s Republic of China, and Singapore.
Enjoy Meg Miller’s Shenanigans – a light-hearted romp guaranteed to make you leave with a smile in your heart.
