Whimsical Fun Awaits with Seussical Jr at The Lighthouse

The Bendigo Bank Burdekin Singers & Theatre Company are set to bring the colourful, quirky world of Dr. Seuss to life in their latest production, Seussical Jr, opening Friday 17 October at The Lighthouse in Ayr.

Audiences will be swept away on a musical journey through the imagination, featuring beloved Seuss characters including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, and Gertrude McFuzz. With catchy songs, vibrant costumes, and a heartfelt storyline, Seussical Jr promises to be a dazzling experience for families, dreamers, and anyone young at heart.

Performances will run across several weekends until Sunday 2 November 2025, with tickets priced between $20 and $30. Each ticket includes not only your seat for the show but also a selection of scrumptious home-cooked nibbles and sweets. Patrons are welcome to bring along additional snacks to share with family and friends, making it an even more memorable night out.

The Lighthouse is a fully licensed venue, and guests are reminded that BYO drinks are not permitted. Accessible seating is available upon request when booking tickets.
