The Peabody-Burns High School production of “Seussical — the Musical,” originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, has been postponed until mid-March.

The materials for the play were delayed in being sent to the school, pushing back the time that students could prepare. That, combined with the success of the football team, gave students a very short window of time for preparation, Principal Tim Robertson said.

The students decided that they would rather postpone the play to allow for the best performance possible than rush through it now. Administrators agreed.
