1214 Foundation To Produce Seussical: The Musical

Stage Directions: The 1214 Foundation aims to build a performing arts center in Newtown as “a living remembrance of the events of December 14, 2012.” To help achieve that dream the Foundation has recruited several august theatre names to its board, including lighting designer and creator of Theatre Projects Consultants Richard Pilbrow, noted New York entertainment lawyer Richard Ticktin and Michael Price, chief executive director and founder of Goodspeed Musicals. Its next steps towards making the dream of a memorial PAC come true will be a performance of Seussical: The Musical at Newtown High School this August.

It is so great that they are building and dedicating a remembrance space or almost a memorial to the events that happened on December 14, 2012. Their season looks fantastic, and it even incorporates 5-18 years and lets junior and senior high school kids work tech! This new theatre will have so many opportunities for kids of all ages and the rest of the community. It is a poignant theatre that will honor those who died in that tragic event. It is a wonderful idea, and great way to get the neighborhood involved.
