Studio East and Kirkland Junior High PTSA presented "Seussical" the musical this weekend at the Lake Washington High School Cadle Theatre.  These students performed at a much higher level than what I remember in my high school days. 

Theatre, at its highest level, not only entertains, but also makes people think.  Dr. Seuss takes on some very serious subjects, such as war, prejudice, vanity, social conformity, desertion, chaos and more.  The students in the play displayed great perseverance through storms, snow days, no electricity, and illness.  They began to realize that the story was important and that the show must go on, in spite of obstacles. 

I really appreciate the efforts of the Directors, parent volunteers, the students themselves, and the neighbors who came out to see the final production.  They all contribute to the identity of Kirkland as an arts community.  

If you get the chance, please attend one of these productions in the future....you will be amazed at the high level of talent!
