Prepare 16 bars of a song. Bring sheet music in correct key; accompanist provided but may not transpose. Actors will also read sides from the script.

Bring picture and resume, stapled together.

The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes “his kind and his powerful heart.” Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant in a story that makes you laugh and cry.

All roles available.

There will be five roles available for AEA artists and one AEA/ASM among the available roles.

All cast members are expected for all performances, with no exception since the company does not cast understudies.
