Spring is bringing something truly magical to the stage at the Florida Academy of Performing Arts – and you won’t want to miss it!

Our talented young performers are hard at work preparing for the colorful, musical adventure of Seussical Jr., and the excitement is building as showtime approaches. With multiple performances happening April 24-26 and May 1-3, there are plenty of opportunities to experience this joyful production with family and friends.

A Show Full of Heart, Humor, and Imagination

Seussical Jr. brings to life the beloved characters of Dr. Seuss in a lively musical filled with imagination, laughter, and heartfelt moments. From Horton the Elephant to Gertrude McFuzz and the Cat in the Hat, this story celebrates friendship, courage, and the power of believing in yourself.

Our Homeschool Theatre Program students will take the stage for performances April 24-26, showcasing months of creativity, rehearsal, and teamwork. These young performers have poured their hearts into every scene, learning not only acting and singing skills but also confidence, collaboration, and the courage to step into the spotlight.

A Wonderful Way to Support Your Community

Community theatre is about so much more than a show – it’s about encouraging young people to step out of their comfort zones, discover their talents, and share their voices.

By attending a performance, you’re doing something truly meaningful:

• Supporting local youth in the arts
• Encouraging homeschool students and young performers as they grow in confidence
• Helping keep community theatre vibrant and thriving

And let’s be honest – there’s something incredibly special about seeing kids from your own community shine on stage. Whether it’s your own children, friends, neighbors, or students you’ve watched grow up, the joy of live theatre brings everyone together.

Make It a Family Night Out

Bring the kids. Invite the grandparents. Gather friends from the neighborhood.

Seussical Jr. is the kind of joyful, colorful show that makes for a perfect family outing – full of music, laughter, and those magical moments that only live theatre can create.
