Nominated for three Tony Awards, A Year with Frog & Toad will hop across the stage, bringing music, laughter and joy to children of all ages. The story follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad, through four fun-filled seasons. After awakening from hibernation, the friends swim together, plant gardens, go sledding and learn valuable life lessons along the way. Both Frog and Toad learn to appreciate each other’s differences and value the friendship that they have.
Harold & the Purple Crayon :: Saturday, March 6, 2010
“One evening, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.” So begins Harold and the Purple Crayon. As it turned out, there wasn’t any moon that night nor was there a path to walk on, so Harold simply drew them. Resourceful and brave, Harold creates the world he wants to explore, using nothing more than a big purple crayon and his sky’s the-limit imagination. This enchanting story will excite and bring imagination to children, teaching them that the sky is the limit.
