Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens

Book by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty

Co-Conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle

Based on the Works of Dr. Seuss

Through the power of imagination and with a little help from The Cat in the Hat, Jojo shows us the story of Horton the elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the world of Who. Can Horton protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers? Will Jojo's imagination get him in trouble? Will Horton ever notice Gertrude? Well, in the Wubulus World of Dr. Seuss, what do YOU think?

This timeless classic challenges American ideas of power, intolerance, and justice. In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer’s wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many, uncovering a web of bigotry and deceit that changes their lives forever. THE CRUCIBLE is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable of contemporary society.

Silhouette Stages is proud of being a strong supporter of diversity in our community. This month we honor our Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community for their vibrant cultures, traditions, and histories that enrich us and help us tell their stories through the arts. From ancient storytelling and classical music to contemporary film, literature, dance, and visual art, AAPI artists have made profound contributions that enrich the cultural fabric of the United States.

Art has long served as a bridge between generations and cultures, offering a platform for expression, resilience, and transformation. It’s in the bold brushstrokes of a Filipino muralist, the haunting melodies of a Korean composer, the intricate choreography of a Hawaiian hula, and the evocative prose of a Vietnamese American writer that we see the diverse narratives and identities that make up the AAPI experience.

Later this month (May 10th) is the 4th Annual AAPI Festival at Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods! Experience the beauty and diversity of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures through colorful performances. It's the perfect way to introduce cultural celebration to your family during #AAPIHeritageMonth.

Thank you for the review, @mdtheatreguide!

"The time seems to zip right by until, sadly, we are at the end. Many in the audience didn’t want it to be over and just stood there hoping for more. Sadly, many states in this country today have laws that would prevent productions of “Kinky Boots.” We are lucky that, here in Maryland, we get a chance to share this joy and maybe learn a bit about others who are not like us—and a little about how we are all really the same."

https://mdtheatreguide.com/2025/03/theatre-review-kinky-boots-at-silhouette-stages/

Second review! "Kinky Boots demands a diva performance, divine dance moves, daring dresses, and working-class heart. This production delivers every bit of that and more."
