Cinestudio and Trinity’s Sustainability Committee invite you to celebrate Earth Day with a reduced admission ($5) screening of The Lorax, the story of a young boy trying to bring life to his barren, treeless world. This prescient children’s story is now a delightful film based on the book by Dr. Seuss (Ted Geisel).  Zac Efron voices young Ted, who lives in the vegetation-free town of Sneedville, hoping one day to impress his elusive dream girl. (And yes, she is voiced by megastar Taylor Swift!) One day Ted’s curiosity leads him outside Sneedville’s walled town where he meets the even curiouser Once-ler, a creature who enlists Ted in the battle between the greedy mayor, and the Lorax, the elusive Guardian of the forest. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – Dr. Seuss.
