In A Year With Frog and Toad KIDS, two best friends – Frog and Toad – wake up from hibernation excited for the new year to come.  When Frog discovers Toad is sad that he never receives any mail, he writes him a letter and sends it via “Snail mail.”  Come fall, the two friends try to surprise each other by secretly raking each other’s leaves. When winter arrives, Frog lures a terrified Toad onto a sled, but he falls off midway through the course. Scared by the experience, Toad gets angry at Frog, but all is forgiven when Frog’s letter to Toad from earlier that year is finally delivered by the Snails. Before turning in for hibernation again, Frog and Toad celebrate together and reflect on the gift of friendship.

L. Frank Baum’s beloved story of a young girl’s adventure in a magical land has been entertaining audiences for over a century. This stage adaptation, featuring the characters and celebrated songs from the film, brings the wondrous Land of Oz to life in a jubilant theatrical experience.

Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.

Teen Shakespeare: MACBETH

Something wicked this way comes…

Macbeth explores the perils of unbridled ambition and forewarns that the path of merciless self-interest leads only to bloody self-destruction. Shakespeare wrote this infamous play a decade after the death of his own son, Hamnet, and it has since blossomed into one of the world’s most told stories, likely due in part to human fascination with the wickedness within ourselves.

Our theatre students develop and embody their characters to bring Shakespeare’s Macbeth to live. These young artists learn core acting skills to present within this show and beyond. Owen Corey leads the Teen Shakespeare team by cutting this script to meaningfully engage and elevate our emerging teen artists.

Dive into a Shakespearean masterwork this summer!
