A family-friendly musical, the show is based on
the "Frog and Toad" children's stories, written and illustrated by
Arnold Lobel. The musical follows the adventures of two amphibious
friends: a worrywart toad and a perky frog. Along the way, the
audience will enjoy their interactions with an assortment of
colorful companions as they hop, crawl and fly through the woodlands
over the course of one year.
Kenneth Kendall, Lincoln College's director of theatre, said the
show will feature an extremely talented six-person cast, as well as
a live pit orchestra.
"This is one of those shows with something for everyone in the
family to enjoy," said Kendall. "The students have worked extremely
hard in recent weeks, fine-tuning the details of their characters.
The audience can expect a fantastic show."
The show will be presented Wednesday-Friday, Feb. 15-17, at 7:30
p.m. and on the weekend of Feb. 18 and 19 at 2 p.m. in the Hostick
Theatre in the Johnston Center.
There will be an opportunity for the audience to speak with the
cast and crew after the weekend matinee performances.
Seating is very limited. People interested in preordering tickets
