Celebrate Dr. Seuss’s 106th birthday at Montalvo!

Dr. Seuss’s The Butter Battle Book is a satirical allegorydepicting a deadly war based on a senseless conflict over breakfast food. Explaining the very serious differences between the Zooks and the Yooks, a grandpa tells his grandchild the unspeakable truth:

"It's high time that you knew of the terribly horrible thing that Zooks do. In every Zook house and every Zook town every Zook eats his bread with the butter side down!"

With playful comedy, Cirque du Soleil-style costumes, and wonderful choreography, Fou Fou Ha! creates a visually stunning spectacle teaching about intolerance and how tit-for-tat can quickly get out of hand.
