THOMASVILLE —
homasville Center for the Arts (TCA), with Thomasville Community Resource (TCRC) students, home-schooled students, Favor Christian Academy students and TCA Art in the Afternoon students, along with Baby Seuss students, presented its Fall Semester performance and exhibit on Tuesday.
TCA’s mission to share the arts was apparent as more than 80 children presented a semester’s worth of visual and performing arts for their family and friends. These students created artwork, acted and sung their way through a series of beloved Dr. Seuss books. The art classes created the back drops, stage props and exhibit art while the theatre arts and vocal imagination students learned the process of theatre production, with script memorization and voice while entertaining the audience with their presentation called “Everything Seuss.”
The auditorium was nearly filled to capacity for the performance consisting of the Dr. Seuss books: The Places You Go, The Thinks You Will Think, The Sneeches, Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
“Dr. Seuss is both the author and illustrator of his books, so he encompasses both literary and visual arts while also showing how artists use their art as their voice to communicate their thoughts and feelings” said Mary Oglesby, director of Education and Outreach. “Dr. Seuss said, ‘Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.’”
