The Bird Girls in “Seussical” with Emily Hall as Mayzie La Bird.
By Adanna Moriarty, Special to the Ojai Valley News
Dr. Seuss's fascinating, vivid world comes to the Ojai Art Center Theater’s stage for the holidays in "Seussical." The more than 30 people in the cast sing and dance their way through Seuss's magical creations. A cast is nothing without the people behind the scenes who tie together the stories told on stage. Without set design, lighting, and costumes, we wouldn't enjoy going to the theater as much as we do. Sheryl Jo Bedal brings the visually creative world of Dr. Seuss to life through her costuming.
