Description:

This whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. Throughout the year, two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.

Director's Vision Letter:
Welcome to our production of A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS! The team and myself look forward to sharing this delightful story with you. We are excited to share and bring the friendship of Frog and Toad to life—complete with laughter, music, and plenty of heart.

At its core, Frog and Toad is a story about friendship that weathers every season. We journey into a forest filled with friends; birds, snails, lizards, mice, turtles, moles, and more!  We see how this community all works together to keep their ecosystem thriving through the highs and lows they encounter along the way.  It reminds us of the beauty in God’s creation and the simple but powerful ways we can reflect His love in our relationships. Frog and Toad are very different from one another—one is optimistic and adventurous, the other more cautious and contemplative—yet together they show us that true friendship is patient, kind, forgiving, and full of joy.

As we rehearse, we will talk about our Biblical calling to “encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11) and that “two are better than one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9). Watching our students grow, not only in their stage skills but also in kindness, teamwork, and courage is what we hope to  inspire in our cast. Every giggle, every missed-cue-turned-victory, and every shared prayer is sure to be a reflection of God’s goodness at work in this community.

With gratitude and joy,
Christina Haynes
Director, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS

Characters:

Frog

Frog is a friendly, confidant, positive and caring character. He should always seem comfortable solving Toad's problems and reacting to Toad's traumas.

Toad

Toad is serious, irritable, self-conscious yet an oddly charismatic character. The "tight yet quirky" friendship that he shares with Frog must appear loyal through and through.

Turtle

Turtle is a "rabble-rouser" and loves to get the whole gang to tease Toad in fun!

Mouse

Mouse is always able to ask all the right questions like a talk-show host.

Lizard

Lizard is definitely the most confused of the Turtle, Mouse, Lizard trio, but eventually joins in the fun.

Snails

The Snails are simply unflappable. They will deliver without fail "in the rain or sleet or snow."

Birds

The Birds communicate the passage of time (seasons) and set the stage for the story to follow.

Moles

The Moles should have expressive faces to convey the excitement in Down The Hill as well as sincerity in their angelic solo Merry Almost Christmas.

Squirrels

The Squirrels are full of mischief and the actors should be comfortable moving, talking and singing with squirrel like qualities.
