Seussical The Musical JR. | Children's Musical
Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

One product of Great Futures Productions has been the Musical Theatre Troupe. The troupe is a group of 20 students from the musical theatre program ranging in grades 5th-12th. The troupe performs at a variety of events through out the year in the North Lake Tahoe and Reno communities.
The Troupe has won two talent competitions over the past four years. In 2014 the troupe traveled to Long Beach, California to perform at the BGC Pacific Regional conference. In September of 2017, ten students from the musical theatre troupe were awarded a trip to Las Vegas to perform at The Planet Hollywood. These students opened the Pacific and Southwest Region Leadership Conference. April 2024 the Troupe opened for the 30th Anniversary of Broadway Comes to Reno at the Pioneer Center.
