A Year with Frog and Toad

Theatre for young audience

Music by Robert Reale

Book and Lyrics by Willie Reale

Based on the books by Arnold Lobel

June 23 – July 9, 2016        Preview Thursday and Fridays at 7pm           Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 3pm

Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe, all charm, A Year With Frog And Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons. A hit on Broadway, A Year With Frog And Toad was nominated for 3 Tony Awards - including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved books and featuring a hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale, this whimsical show follows two great friends -- the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad -- through four, fun-filled seasons.

Everyone knows the classic princess stories from Once Upon a Time.  You know those tales of magic, dreams, fantasy, and true love.  But do those stories still hold up in today's modern world?  Is there still true love and bibbity-bobbity-boos?  Would they still all live happily ever after? In this tale it is "Princess meets Present" when the stories of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and many more are given a modern twist and told once upon THIS time.
