There is a creative energy buzzing away at Heaton. We are full steam ahead preparing for our school production, 'Seussical' to be presented later this term.

In this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza, our production, Seussical will lovingly bring to life all of our favourite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. The story centres around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognises "his kind and his powerful heart." Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.

Ticketing

Tickets will be $10 per person and can be purchased via the KINDO/Growth Collective, our online payment system from Monday 28th August. They are subject to availability, so grab your tickets early. The office will not be accepting any other method of payment. All families have now had an opportunity to purchase four tickets per family.  We are now removing this limit, so if you wish to purchase further tickets, you can do so. If students choose to purchase a matinee session, then they will be released from class. 

After purchasing online, your tickets will be given to your child by the school office staff the week prior to the production (please ensure you write the correct room number when purchasing). Please note Heaton Normal Intermediate holds no responsibility for lost tickets. Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded once purchased.
