The Pleasantville Fine Arts program will present their first musical in seven years later this week. 

The production is Seussical the Musical, which is a musical comedy based on the stories of Dr. Seuss. Performances of Seussical the Musical will be held Friday, November 3rd through Monday, November 5th. Members of the cast Poet Nickel and Joslynn McCormick say that they are honored to be a part of the group that is bringing a musical back to Pleasantville High School.

Nickel: “It’s really inspiring for me personally because I got to see my oldest brother be in a musical or two, and so just to be able to be a part of the group that brings that back is really special.”

McCormick: “Similarly to Poet, my sister was in fine art stuff and she never got to be in a musical. But I remember wanting to go watch the last musical we had with her and that group of people was amazing, so I’m glad that we get to be a part of this group of people.”
