Show Synopsis
The Cat in the Hat tells the
story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who thinks too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, and kidnapping, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty,
family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
