Wayland High School’s theater students will present the play A Seussified Christmas Carol by Peter Bloedel Friday through Sunday, Nov. 17-19, at the Wayland High School Fine Arts Center.

The play is a whimsical reinvention of Dickens’ most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with — if he ever had his way with the story.

Performances will be held at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 17 and 18,  and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19. Tickets are $5/adults, Students are free. They can be purchased online at http://waylandunion.org/fine-performing-arts/wayland-union-fine-arts-center or at the door.

  1. It’s heartening to know that news of Dr. Seuss’ _Cat in the Hat_ ‘racism’ has not yet corrupted Wayland High School.
