True to the spirit of the well-loved books, this delightful Tony Award-nominated family musical follows the adventures of two great friends, the cheerful Frog and his grouchy friend, Toad through the four seasons of a year. Directed by Childsplay founder and Artistic Director, David Saar, A Year With Frog and Toad features some of the ensemble’s best loved actors reprising their favorite roles. Kyle Lawson of The Arizona Republic called the 2004 Childsplay production "…tuneful, funny and the sort of thing that makes both kids and adults say afterward, 'Gosh, that was wonderful.'" Chris Page of the East Valley Tribune said it was "…a triumph, a joy to watch."

 

Remember that this theatre does NOT issue individual tickets, I will have a group invoice.  Therefore, we will meet at 9:30am in front of Tempe Center for the Arts to gather as a group and be ready to go inside when they begin seating.   Please check in with me  so that I know that you have arrived.  I have found that people are able to locate my identical twin daughters in a crowd easier than finding me.   They always dress alike, and their photographs can be seen at http://www.theparsonsfamily.com .   If you arrive late, it's possible that we've already gone into the theatre.     Let the theatre company representative know that you are in Jan Parsons' Homeschool group.   I always let them know if there are families that haven't arrived when we go into the theatre.  It is at their sole discretion, however, on when and where you are seated.  Most of the companies fill the theatre from front to back, row by row, so it's probable that you will not sit with our group if you arrive late.  They may choose to seat other groups before you.  If the show has already begun, they may require you to wait for an appropriate time so as not to disturb others, meaning that you may miss some of the show.
