Hi everyone,
So I have been in rehearsals for the past few weeks for A Year with Frog and Toad at the Maine State Music Theater in Brunswick Maine. Myself, three other local performers, and four of the performance interns at MSMT have been working to get the show up and running.
The cast includes: Brian Kess (University of Minnesota Duluth ‘10) as Frog, Matt Geller (University of Northern Kentucky ‘10) as Toad, Ephie Aardema (Circle in the Square ‘09) as a Bird/Mole, Kaitlyn Johnson (Muhlenberg College ‘08) as Bird/Mole, Joe Valliere (University of Southern Maine ‘10) as Bird/Mole, Ned Donovan (Ithaca College ‘12) as Snail, and local Middle School standouts Rebekah and Blair as Mouse/Squirrel, and Turtle/Squirrel respectively. The whole thing is directed by Connie Shafer and Music Directed by Sam Bagala.
This adorable and fun show follows Frog and Toad from the day the wake up from hibernation, through the four seasons until the day they go back to sleep. Over the course of the year they break clocks, talk about mail, go swimming (where all the animals find out that “Toad looks funny in a bathing suit”), bake Cookies, go sledding, and more.
The show is fun, quirky, and is sure to be a hit in the children’s show line-up this summer at MSMT. So go buy tickets as they’re selling fast! Performances are at 10am, 1pm, and 3pm on Monday June 8th, at the PIckard Theater in Brunswick. The Pickard Theater lies on the Bowdoin College campus.
