Roxy Regional School Of The Arts Presents A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD Kids, June 12 - July 1

Children and adults alike will relish in the joyful vignettes, catchy tunes, funny dialogue and bright, memorable characters of A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS, opening at the Roxy Regional Theatre on Monday, June 12, at 6:00pm.

Performed by twenty-four local youth from the Roxy Regional School of the Arts, ages 8 to 18, the treasured characters from Arnold Lobel's beloved children's books hop from the page to the stage in this streamlined kid-friendly version of the beautiful Broadway musical about a friendship that endures.

Part vaudeville, part make-believe and all charm, this whimsical musical follows two great friends — the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad — through four fun-filled seasons.

Waking from hibernation, Frog (played by Caleb Crosby) and Toad (played by Moira Patterson) bake cookies, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way.  Throughout the year, the two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.  

The culmination of five months of hard work by these talented young performers, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS also features Aiyana Cotton, Aislyn Gann, Pluto Graham, Anniston Heron, Bennet Hubbell, Phasia Karyeah, Izzy Kelly, Marabella Lopez, Isaiah Meehan, Abigail Myers, Mia Olson, Piper Peters, Aaliyah Rivera, Lily Rives, Colten Schafer, Bailey Sinks, Addy Stull, Zamaria White, Aria Willis, Adyson Woodring and Lillian Zigelhofer.

Based on the books by Arnold Lobel and written by Willie Reale with music by Robert Reale, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS is directed and choreographed by Emily Ruck with co-direction by David Graham.

Produced in part by Hugh & Joy Hatcher, with additional funding support provided by Barbara & Larry Goolsby, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials are supplied by Music Theatre International (MTI), www.mtishows.com.

Performances are at 6:00pm on June 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and July 1, with a 2:00pm matinee on Saturday, July 1.  In keeping with the theatre's pay-what-you-can opening night tradition, all tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 5:30pm on Monday, June 12, for a $5 minimum donation.

Tickets are $35 (adults) and $15 (ages 10 and under) and may be reserved online at Click Here, by phone at (931) 645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to curtain).

Nashville Rep's Stellar 9 to 5: The Musical

Baker’s superb direction brings all the various moving parts of this huge production together to deliver a gratifyingly heartfelt paean to the millions of working women (and men) who inspired the screenplay and musical book by Patricia Resnick. Baker’s vision for the piece, in concert with her team of collaborators, delivers a production of 9 to 5: The Musical that is delightfully fresh and new, eschewing the tendency of some directors to offer a rehash of what’s already been seen on Broadway, on tour or in regional theater.

Nashville Children's Theatre's STRONG INSIDE

Thanks to Andrew Maraniss’ best-selling book Strong Inside – adapted for the stage by Tyrone L. Robinson – Wallace’s storied basketball career in the Southeastern Conference and the details of his upbringing in the segregated South are now brought vividly to life onstage in a history-making production from NCT, the third-oldest theater for younger audiences in the United States. Founded in 1931 by members of the Junior League of Nashville, there can be no denying that NCT, like its hometown itself and one of its favorite sons (Wallace), has been reflective of the growing diversity of its people and the evolution of its cultural and educational institutions.

Student Blog: Hard Work Becomes Habit!

Musical theater is a challenging thing to “grade”. There aren’t many classes with essays that could be plagiarized or tests where you could choose to cheat. However, if your homework is to do the exercises your voice teacher assigned to you, it is easy to view the assignment as one that can be skipped over.
