"Stage Talk" with the Cast on Sat. 10/3

How long did the cast rehearse? Are you wearing a wig, or is that your real hair? Where did you get the idea for this play?

Stage Talks bring you and your kids in contact with the cast and director, to answer questions and deepen the theatre experience. For Too Many Frogs, the Stage Talk will be immediately following the opening performance on Saturday, October 3.  Reserve your seats today.
