| If you give 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, so you'll give him a bathing
suit . . . and that's just the beginning!

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.
