Fountain Hills Theater Announces A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD KIDS
By: Julie Musbach May. 21, 2018
Fountain Hills Theater is excited to announce its upcoming youth production - and its final show in the Youth 2017-18 Season - "A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS." Music by Robert Reale; Book and Lyrics by Willie Reale; Based on the books by Arnold Lobel.
Adapted from the three-time-Tony-nominated Broadway hit comes "A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS". Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved books, the jazzy, upbeat score bubbles with melody. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, and all charm, "A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS" tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.
This whimsical show follows two great friends - the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad - through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. Throughout the year, two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.
"A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS" features Audrey Alcorn, Will Altermann, Allison Avery, Brooklyn Avery, Lilli Bendet, Zolton Bonnenfant, Elizabeth Campbell, Emily Campbell, Lachlan Henderson, Sage Henderson, Connor Klein, Ava Moffitt, Adam Oberg, Emerson Randall, Giselle Schmidt, Maggie Schultz, Erin Schumacher, Amelia Tomasello, Annibelle Washburn, and Jackson Washburn.
