“Seussical Jr.” Musical Set for March

Theater students and faculty are working hard to prepare for the upcoming Middle School musical production of “Seussical Jr.” on March 1.

Directed by Greenhill’s new theater and improv teacher Greg Mihalik, the production has progressed to three weekly rehearsals since auditions in November.

“It’s a really great cast of kids,” Mihalik said. “ ey’re serious about it. ey goof around and have fun, but they are doing some real, serious work.”

Until last year’s “Elf Jr.” musical, Greenhill had not performed a Middle School musical in over three decades.

Head of Fine Arts Terry Martin, who directed the “Elf Jr.” production, said this was an opportunity he wanted Middle School students to have.

Martin said that Mihalik was a good t to take charge of the production because of his prior experience in directing “Seussical Jr.”

“Putting up a play takes a team, but putting up a musical takes a village,” Mihalik said.

Seventh-grader Rehan Menon, who plays the role of Cat in the Hat, also participated in last year’s “Elf Jr.” production
