A Year With Frog and Toad is a Hit With Kids of All Ages!

The children in the audience of Dorset Theatre Festival's third show of the season, A Year With Frog and Toad, are just as enthralled by the stage production as by the Arnold Lobel books the musical is based on. Kids have called out words of advice to the actors onstage during performances and rushed the stage during curtain call to meet Frog and Toad. Child audience members have been given backstage tours and gotten autographs from the performers.


Jeff Edgerton (Frog) signs autographs for Laura and Miranda.


Darrin Baker (Toad) signs a program for an adoring fan.

But, as Bob Rose says in his glowing review of A Year With Frog and Toad in the Glens Falls Post Star, "If you don't have available offspring, just go by yourself. Believe me, you will come away totally satisfied. This is a show, masterly performed, for all ages."

Performances continue through August 9.
