THE 39 STEPS (Theatre Horizon): Thriller? I hardly know her!

DR. SEUSS’S THE CAT IN THE HAT (Arden): A Review in Seussical Verse

Debra Miller April 20, 2014 6 Comments

I loved to read when I was a kid

Now that book is a play* and I’m giving it raves!

The Arden’s production is silly and wild.
It’s as good for adults as it is for a child.
