Seussical's wild success

SAN ROQUE / Sotogrande Yesterday was the first session of the musical Seussical!, offered by the kids at Sotogrande International School at the Juan Luis Galiardo Theatre in San Roque and directed by Kristyn Art. The morning session for local children was exceptionally successful, as can be seen from the photo. The essence of the musical, it's 'moral' if you like, is "A person is a person, no matter the size." That, of course, is what connects the audience with the players.

Dr Seuss, the Seussical, in San Roque

SAN ROQUE On March 22nd and 23rd (today and tomorrow!) Sotogrande International School's well established arts department presents Seussical! Seussical is based on the works of the popular children's writer Dr. Seuss. He is best known for books like The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! These stories include wondrous characters, creatures and places such as Mayzie la Bird, Horton the Elephant and the Jungle of Nool! Through jazzy and upbeat music and Broadway style dancing the cast will teach the audience about not giving up and believing in the power of imagination!

Students in this production range from twelve to seventeen years old and are excited about sharing their talent with the San Roque community. Sotogrande International School finds it very important to connect with the community and we hope that with this musical full of dancing, singing and spectacle we can share our love of the arts! The performances will take place at 7:30pm and the tickets are free. We will be asking for small donations for the schools NGO, The Kindred Project, which supports communities in Asni, Morocco, Uganda and Goa.

Donations to Cancer Research from participants and/or onlookers will be accepted gladly. Sounds like a fun day out, doesn't it?

Sotorox3 concert at Sotogrande International School tomorrow night

They do it twice a year, these Sotogrande International School kids. They enjoy themselves, and so does their appreciative audience consisting mainly of their peers. This Friday, March 25, at 7pm, Sotorox3. Sponsored by Lloyds Bank and Patricia Darch, all proceeds will be going to the school's NGO, The Kindred Project. The programme is full of good music, of all kinds (see below), and a great deal of fun. Enjoy!>
