Cat in the Hat

Adventure Theatre MTC

From the moment his tall, red-and-white-striped hat appears around the door, Sally and her brother know that the cat in the hat is the funniest, most mischievous cat they have ever met. With the trickiest of tricks and craziest of ideas, he is certainly fun to play with. And he turns a rainy afternoon into an amazing adventure. But what will mom find when she gets home...?

"...The chaos-peddling feline is the title character in "Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat," the charming dramatization of the beloved picture book larking it up at Adventure Theatre MTC. Directed by Karin Abromaitis, the show features Rick Hammerly as the likably obstreperous Cat. But the real star is Dr. Seuss, whose rhyming wit - spoken by the play's characters and by a disembodied narrator (NPR's Guy Raz) - reverberates through the script. (Katie Mitchell adapted the play, which premiered at Britain's National Theatre."

"...Adventure Theatre MTC presents one of the best known works of Dr. Seuss, Cat in the Hat. Adapted for the stage and originally directed by Katie Mitchell, Director Karin Abromaitis throws her own hat in the ring for Adventure's production. When a bored brother and sister find themselves trapped inside during a rainy day, a fun-loving cat appears on their doorstep and pushes the limits of indoor play. How much fun is too much?"

"...It's not often that I walk into a theater and say "Wow!" That's exactly what happened when I first saw the stage for Adventure Theatre MTC's production of Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat. Set Designer Luciana Stecconi created a stage that is an exact copy from the pages of this classic children's story. My daughter walked on the stage and said, "Look mommy, I'm in the book! I'm in 'Cat in the Hat'." I smiled at her and remained calm, but inside I thought: "This is so cool. I feel like I'm standing in the book too!""

The principal lesson of Adventure Theatre’s curiously inert and un-Adventuresome production of the Dr. Seuss classic appears to be watch out for mom, since the shenanigans our laid-back Cat in the Hat (Rick Hammerly) proposes to Sally (Jessica Shearer) and her brother (Tyler Herman) are so mild and slo-mo that they could be offensive only to a fish (the excellent Alex Vernon).
