Just Announced!

Oh, the fun you will find at the Benton Civic Center,
When Pyramid Players says, “Come on in—enter!”

On June 26, 27, and 28, come follow the Cat,

Where Horton hears Whos and the world is wild and wacky and wonderfully flat.

It’s Seussical the Musical—a swirl of delight,

With creatures and stories that leap into sight.

A tale full of heart, of courage, of cheer…

A magical romp you’ll be glad you came near.

So gather your family, your neighbors, your crew—

There’s a Seussian adventure awaiting just-- for--you.

Showtime: 7PM on the 26th/27th & 2PM on the 28th.
