FROG & TOAD Debuts at Arts Center of Cannon County

Arnold Lobel's beloved characters hop from page to stage February 13 and 20 as The Arts Center of Cannon County presented A Year With Frog and Toad, the Tony Award-nominated musical with book and lyrics by Willie Reale and music by Robert Reale.

Based on the books by Arnold Lobel, A Year With Frog and Toad is directed by Lindsey Mapes and produced by Scarlett Turney.

The musical follows two great friends - the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather dour and grumpy Toad - through four, adventure-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in their differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, A Year With Frog And Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures weathering all seasons.

The score of A Year With Frog and Toad bubbles with melody and wit making it a musical for the whole family. To heighten the fun, there will be a special opportunity to take your picture with Frog and Toad onstage and meet the cast at the end of the show.

A Year With Frog And Toad is part of The Arts Center's 2016 School Matinee Series. Performances are February 13 and 20 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased by calling the Arts Center box office at (615) 563-2787.
