Rogue Artists Ensemble Presents FROG BELLY RAT BONE this Fall

Using its signature Hyper-theatrical style combining puppetry, music, video projections and innovative prop design, the award-winning Rogue Artists Ensemble brings this popular book's lovable characters and quirky aesthetic to life on stage in Frog Belly Rat Bone at the Center for Puppetry Arts from August 4 through August 14.

 

Journey to Cementland where one very special Boy discovers a rusty old box promising wondrous riches, yet all he finds inside the box are colorful packets filled with tiny grey specks. When even his new friends Rat, Rabbit and Fruit Fly don't know how to make treasure out of specks, the Boy leaves the box - and the treasure - unprotected. After thieves come in the night, the Boy builds a monster called Frog Belly Rat Bone to scare them away, and all of the friends learn that the real treasure of friendship can't be locked in a box.
