No mirrors or peacock feathers on stage, don't say "good luck" only "break a leg" and our personal favorite; that a black cat in the theater brings good luck, especially to the actor that he brushes up against. At the Black Cat Theater & Academy we strive to provide our students and patrons with an exceptional experience in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. We count ourselves lucky to be able to share with you our love and respect for the art of theatre.

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical KIDS, a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Transporting us to the Jungle of Nool, our narrator the Cat in the Hat, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton's challenge is twofold — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, his best friend, Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
