Music at the Market*
This week we are joined by the St. Catherine's Performing Arts Guild who will be performing selections from their summer musical.
SEUSSICAL is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza bringing to life some of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant; in a story that makes you laugh and cry. Seussical, the Musical, performed by St. Catherine of Bologna Performing Arts Guild Friday 7/27 and Saturday 7/28 at 8PM; Sunday 7/29 at 2PM; Friday 8/3 and Saturday 8/4 at 8PM and Sunday 8/5 at 2PM. St. Catherine of Bologna Performing Arts Guild is a non-profit community theater organization under the sponsorship of St. Catherine of Bologna Parish located in Ringwood, NJ. The Guild is non-denominational. It exists to promote cultural awareness and growth and to enhance community spirit through the performing arts. Seussical is directed and produced by Leslie Silverman with Chick Barnes as Music Director. For tickets, email Donna Volpe at dbvolpe@optonline.net or call 973-962-7032 x 12. (Adult: $22, Seniors/students over 12: $19, Children 12 and under: $10). 
Enjoy Live Music from 10 am to Noon
