A Year with Frog and Toad: The Musical

Fun Family Theater and Shows for School Groups

A collaboration between Arlington Center for the Arts and Arlington Children's Theater

Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale's musical A Year With Frog And Toad.

Conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, A Year With Frog And Toad remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.

ACA's School Show program brings live theater to elementary school audiences in an integrated multi-media learning experience.

Students read a children's literature classic in school, then draw scenery for the show. The experience culminates in a field trip to ACA to see the play performed by student actors, during which their scenery drawings are projected onto a backdrop on stage.

School Performances:

$8 per student; one free chaperone ticket for every 10 students
