The Off-Beat Players presents Seuss-A-Palooza: “The Sneetches” on Saturday, July 23, 2pm, at Greenwich Country Day School.
Based on the beloved children’s book about the perils of bigotry, The Sneetches features an original and brilliant score by renowned composer, Lorenzo Palomo. Enjoy the story of the Sneetches – a group of intelligent yellow birds whose physical appearance dictates their place in society. The star-bellied Sneetches are popular, while the plain-bellied Sneetches are shunned. Soon, a stranger arrives looking to exploit these differences for his own selfish gain, promising he can remove or add a star to the stomach of a Sneetch with the help of a special machine. After taking the Sneetches for all they are worth, the stranger packs up and leaves. The Sneetches realize they have been duped, but discover that their differences are what makes them each special in their own way.
Suess-a-palooza will include a short one-act performance of The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss, followed by crafts, games, prizes, and more.
