The George C. Marshall High School Statesman Theatre will present the Tony-nominated musical “A Year with Frog and Toad” over two weekends beginning April 28.
The family-friendly play follows two best friends – the cheerful, patient frog and the bumbling, persnickety toad – through four seasons of vignettes as they are joined by other woodland creatures.
“I have always wanted to do a straight-up children’s musical, but felt determined in the wake of COVID to present a play the entire family can enjoy together,” said director Bernie DeLeo.
“I read these stories to my own children, who are now grown, and it’s been a joy to rediscover these simple yet funny stories and these hilarious characters – this amphibious Abbott & Costello,” De Leo said.
The show runs 90 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and high-schoolers, $5 for younger children.
Performances are April 28 and May 6 at 7:30 p.m. and April 29 and May 7 at 4 and 7:30 p.m., with the box office opening 90 minutes prior to showtime. The theater is accessed via Door 13 at the high school.
