From The Baton Rouge Advocate.

A person’s a person, no matter how small.
Or green or blue.
Or even a sour kangaroo.
And there is one, you know. A sour kangaroo, that is.
That was kind of a bad rhyme at the beginning, wasn’t it? Especially when compared to those penned by Theodor Seuss Geisel.
Best to use his pen name to avoid any confusion.
Dr. Seuss.
Yes, it’s his Sour Kangaroo that’s in question, the very same kangaroo who taunts Horton the Elephant about the Who population on the dust speck.
“The Sour Kangaroo is the leader of the pack,” Emma Graves said. “I wanted to be the Sour Kangaroo when I tried out for the play. She’s a nosey neighbor, and she’s always right until the end when she’s shown up.”
And the moral of the story?
“I know people like that,” Graves said, laughing. “We know people like all of the characters in this play.”
Graves is a 16-year-old Zachary High School student, one of 47 cast members in Central Community Theatre’s production of Seussical the Musical. The play opens Thursday, July 30, in Central High School’s auditorium.
“We thought it would be a great play for us,” Karen Clinkingbeard said. “It’s very family oriented.”
