Award-winning Ovation Theatre proudly presents the fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza "Seussical" opening January 16 in San Marcos. Featuring a whimsical story, energetic musical numbers, and loads of laughs, Seussical brings many of Dr. Seuss’s most beloved characters together in one wonderfully wacky tale. "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 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 naysayers and dangers, 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, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. Ovation Theatre on Facebook

OTC at the Brooks presents the world premiere of "Dead Moose"! "Dead Moose" tells the story of Job, an eighteen-year-old who miraculously survives a car accident with a moose. Returning home from the hospital, he begins to reassess his life in a series of non-linear vignettes — grappling with questions of death, fate, and religion. All the while, the nagging voice of the dead moose lingers in his head, pushing and provoking him at every turn. Originally conceived by writer/composer Tyler Tafolla while attending AMDA Los Angeles, "Dead Moose" first introduced audiences to its songs in 2018 at Republic of Pie in Los Angeles. A concert reading was later staged in January 2025 at the City Heights Performance Annex in San Diego, directed by Tafolla and produced by Kevin “Blax” Burroughs. Content Disclaimer: "Dead Moose" is not recommended for audiences under the age of 14. Content includes themes of suicide, abuse, death, religious trauma, body shaming, homophobia and racism. This production contains flashing lights and projections, haze and loud music. Oceanside Theatre Company on Facebook / Instagram
