Chicago Children's Theatre to Present A YEAR WITH FROG & TOAD, 10/9-11/24
After seven years and 20 productions, Chicago Children's Theatre (CCT) is kicking off its 8th season with a new production of one of the shows it still gets the most requests to bring back - the company's inaugural smash hit, A Year with Frog and Toad.
Lobel's beloved characters hop from the page to the stage in this whimsical musical that follows two best friends - the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad - through four, fun-filled seasons. Performances start October 9, 2013 at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 N. Dearborn St. in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. Press opening is Friday, October 11 at 7 p.m. Performances run through November 24.
The most affordable way to enjoy CCT's 2013-14 season is to purchase a Family Membership Pass, on sale now and offering a 20 percent discount on all three plays next season (A Year with Frog and Toad, the world premiere rhythm and blues musical Mr. Chickee's Funny Money based on the book by Christopher Paul Curtis with original music by Motown legend Lamont Dozier, and the return of Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia's The Very Hungry Caterpillar.)
Family Membership Passes also come with exclusive benefits like invitations to members-only behind-the-scenes events and discounts at nearby family-friendly restaurants.
