The Cat in the Hat and other colourful characters are to come to life in an exciting project being devised by the Margaret Howard Theatre School in Bushey.

The drama school, which has been offering tuition for the past 25 years, is holding auditions for Musical Seussical, based on the Dr Seuss stories, to be performed at The Radlett Centre in March next year. In particular the school will be looking for a boy of around 11 to play Jo Jo, plus supporting roles for ages ten and above.

Rehearsals have now started on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm and anyone interested is welcome to come along. Open auditions will take place on Friday, November 14 and Friday, November 21 at The Margaret Howard Studio in Bushey.
