Prince Gerwyn wants to marry the beautiful princess-but he'll have to get through her evil stepmother first. With her magical golden ball, the Step Queen casts a spell that turns Gerwyn into a slimy frog forever. Will Gerwyn and his Princess live hoppily ever after? Find out in this quirky and interactive fairy tale adaptation, with our signature Orlando Shakes twist!
"Families have fallen in love with Brandon Roberts' summer fairy tales," said Director of Education Anne Hering. "His colorful characters grab the attention of little ones, and parents appreciate his smart humor. This season's offering will include puppets and a whole lot of magic!"
