In conjunction with our mammoth production of the hit Broadway musical Seussical, we held two contests promoting literacy in Spartanburg County.
Our first contest encouraged school classes to donate new or gently loved children’s books, with the winning class promised a visit and story hour by the Cat in the Hat from Seussical.
All in all, almost 2,000 books were donated to The Spartanburg Little Theatre. We in turn will donate these books to Altrusa International, a service club for women, who will donate them to area nonprofits and needy children.
Congratulations to Giada Parris’ class at Woodruff Primary School! (pictured above with the Cat in the Hat). Thank you so much for your generous gift. And many thanks to all the other schools in Spartanburg County who contributed.
Our second venture was a poetry contest. Children were asked to submit poems in the style of Dr. Seuss with the winners receiving two free tickets to Seussical and the opportunity to read their poem to the audience at intermission.
The poems were awesome and the readings have been a lot of fun. We’ll have three more readings at this upcoming weekend’s productions.
Congratulations to:
Shane Rice—Monarch Elementary School
Rebekah Nelson—Abner Creek Elementary School
Braeden Mull—Boiling Springs Elementary School
Iman Qatawi and Maggie Wrinkle---Berry Shoals Intermediate School
Kyle Henderson—Berry Shoals Intermediate School.
The spirit of Seuss lives on!!!!
