The tree that inspired Dr. Seuss’s children’s book “The Lorax” has fallen. It was between 80-100 years old and according to Dr. Seuss, it represented the last truffula tree that had survived the Once-ler’s greedy goal to profit from the sale of the truffula forests.
Back in 1991, our kids performed The Lorax as part of our Summer Enrichment Program. Wonderful memories of the girls and their introduction to theater!
