Thanks to the Rappahannock Record for sharing what we do 😊

On March 12, 685 students from Lancaster Elementary School and Chesapeake Academy attended a musical tale of friendship based on the works of Dr. Seuss, told by the Cat in the Hat in a 60-minute format.

The show was adapted from the Grammy-nominated Broadway musical “Seussical,” written by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens. The performance was brought to Kilmarnock as part of the Arts for Youth Program of the Rappahannock Foundation for the Arts (RFA).
