 It
is Dr. Seuss set to some amazing music performed
by some of the strongest young performers in our
area, at what will become Bonners Ferry's own
Pearl Theatre.
This is a chance to see the "oyster" which will
become the Pearl Theater this fall and meet its
owner Carolyn Testa.
Over twenty young performers will present a show
full of laughs, jubilant music, and warm hearted
"Seussical" moments in which we can all see
ourselves. The performances of "Seussical, Jr"

choir "Swingin' on a Star" will be a four day
run beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday,
June 11, with a matinee perfomance Sunday, at 3
p.m. Showtime Monday and Tuesday is also 7 p.m.
