“We are super stoked that A Year With Frog and Toad is returning to its birthplace at the Children’s Theatre Company to celebrate its 21st year,” said Bookwriter & Lyricist Willie Reale and Composer Robert Reale. “Despite the fact that it is old enough to be welcomed in a saloon, we trust that the innocence and fun of the show will be on full display once again at CTC.”
