Congratulations to Catasauqua Area School District for receiving two honors at The Morning Call’s Top Workplace 2026 recognition and awards ceremony.

Catasauqua High School Drama Club is performing “Seussical” 7 p.m. March 13, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. March 14 and 2 p.m. March 15 in the auditorium at CHS, 2500 W. Bullshead Road, Northampton.

“One of the most performed shows in America, ‘Seussical’ is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many ‘thinks.’ Horton faces a double challenge; not only must he protect the Whos from a world of danger, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!”

Tickets are general admission and $12 online, $15 at the door or $10 with a student or teacher ID.
