a cat a cupcake, he'll ask for
some sprinkles to go with it.
When you give him the sprinkles,
he might spill some on the floor.
Cleaning up will make him hot,

. . . and that's just the beginning!

Lobel
Directed by Michael Baron

well-loved characters hop from
the page to the stage in Robert
and Willie Reale's musical. 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. |

| When
it comes to the environment, young
Walter is far from enlightened.
He's a litterbug who believes
sorting trash is a big waste of
time. But one night, Walter dreams
about a very different future.
Filled with humor and fantasy,
Walter’s dream is a wake-up
call for him – and all of
us – about what we need
to do to protect and preserve
the future of our planet.
This original eco-play uses
puppets, magical stage effects,
and lush sound-scapes to create
a theatrical version of Chris
Van Allsburg’s beautiful
illustrations. All production
materials (costumes, props and
sets) will be made of Earth-Friendly
and Recycled Materials.
