Dr. Seuss's The Cat In The Hat

Dr. Seuss's The Cat In The Hat at Stifel Theatre

Rain at the window. A long afternoon. Two kids with nothing to do and no idea what's about to walk through the door. That's the setup of Dr. Seuss's The Cat In The Hat, and on March 21, 2027, at 2:00 PM, Stifel Theatre in St. Louis turns it into a live stage play. Not a film screening. Not a musical. A story told in the room, in real time, right in front of you.

What makes this worth leaving the house for? The story itself. Sally and her brother are stuck inside on a rainy day when the Cat arrives and interrupts everything. The Fish is there too. So are Thing One and Thing Two. If you grew up with this book, or you've read it aloud so many times you could recite it half asleep, seeing these familiar characters in a theatre is a different pleasure. This production is adapted for the stage by Britain's National Theatre, so it's built for live performance rather than simply copied from the page.

Picture the outing. A Sunday afternoon in St. Louis. A date on the calendar that everyone in your group can look forward to. A story you already share, now something you can experience together instead of just remembering. It's the kind of plan that gives a family or a group of friends a reason to get dressed, get out and sit side by side while the Cat shows up and rainy-day order goes out the window. Make room on your calendar and grab your seats for The Cat In The Hat at Stifel Theatre.
