After COVID-19 prevented Sun Lakes Community Theatre (SLCT) from entertaining elementary children, the group is preparing to make their return with the Children’s Theatre’s production of Horton Hatches the Egg. SLCT has long been keeping smiles on the faces of students of Chandler elementary schools with their costumed characters. Actors have missed playing for the kids, and Sandy Bocynesky, the director, is anxious to get back to work creating fun for the students. Rehearsals will begin after Thanksgiving, and the shows will take place weekday mornings in the early months of 2023.
