We are offering three special weekday matinees with our production of the musical
A Year with Frog and Toad, music by Robert Reale, book and lyrics by Willie Reale. We hope you will consider bringing your students to share in our production. 
Based on Arthur Lobel’s award winning books, A Year with Frog and Toad, is a charming musical that brings to the stage the adventures of two very good, but perhaps unlikely friends. Frog and Toad share great adventures together swimming, sledding, eating cookies (lots and lots of cookies) and generally doing what friends do. This is a great way to connect the books children love to read with a chance to experience live theatre.
