Tufts University’s Magic Circle Theatre presents the first of four productions of “Seussical Jr.” Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in this fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Tickets are $10 through the Tufts online ticket office. Additional performances will be at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 3, and 2 p.m. on Monday, August 7.

Magic Circle Theater is New England’s oldest theater by and for children and is a great opportunity to introduce children to theater. It will also present four performances of “A Wrinkle in Time” at the Balch Arena Theatre from July 27-August 4.
