A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD
music by Robert Reale
book and lyrics by Willie Reale
based on the books by Arnold Lobel
directed by Nick DeGruccio
February 13 - March 1, 2009
Julianne Argyros Stage

Oh, what fun!  Caldecott and Newbery Award winner Arnold Lobel tells the adventures of two friends—from planting a garden to flying kites, swimming in the pond (but turn away because Toad looks funny in a bathing suit) or just settling down in a warm house and eating soup.  It’s a song-filled year in the life of two charming woodland characters and their friends that Variety declared “delights young eyes and minds.”
