Seussical: The Musical this Week in Tarrytown
Sleepy Hollow's Olivia Edwards and Sonya Smith are in the crew of this lively performance at Washington Irving School.
Tarrytown’s Washington Irving School has been buzzing with color and song during odd hours with the last minute rehearsals and preparations for Seussical, a summer musical opening this week.
The Summercliff Players cast and crew mostly hail from Pleasantville and Briarcliff (the Briarcliff district campus they usually use is closed for renovations), with a few from Sleepy Hollow, one from Ossining, one from Croton and elsewhere throughout the region.
30-plus students ranging in age from gradeschool to 21, are performing a lively version of the show in which the Cat in the Hat narrates the tale of Horton, a doubly-challenged elephant.

“Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him," explains director Kathleen Donovan-Warren. "Ultimately, the powers of friendship, family loyalty and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!”
Performances are at the Washington Irving School auditorium in Tarrytown, 103 South Broadway, on Friday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, July 27 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 pm.
