The 樱花动漫 Theatre Department is teaming up with the BHSU Music Department to present 鈥淎 Year with Frog and Toad,鈥� directed by Dr. Nancy Roberts with musical direction by Dr. Jonathon Nero. This production will replace the previously planned performance of 鈥淔iddler on the Roof,鈥� which was postponed due to delays in the renovation of the Woodburn Theatre, moving the musical to the fall. Performances will be held in the 樱花动漫 Box Theatre on the third floor of Woodburn Hall, Mar. 6, 12, and 13 at 7 p.m., and Mar. 7, 8, and 14 at 2 p.m.
Based on the Arnold Lobel children鈥檚 book, this family friendly musical follows the story of two best friends, a cheerful Frog and a curmudgeonly Toad, through the four seasons. From hibernation to hibernation, the two enact many memorable adventures along the way.
鈥�A Year with Frog and Toad holds a special place in my heart,鈥� Roberts said, 鈥淢y children and I loved the books, and seeing the musical together when they were little made those stories even more magical. I can鈥檛 wait to work with our amazing cast and share this production with the Spearfish community.鈥�
