ABOUT A YEAR WITH FROG & TOAD:
Adapted from the three-time-Tony-nominated Broadway hit comes A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS. Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved books, the jazzy, upbeat score bubbles with melody. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, and all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.
This whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. Throughout the year, two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.

Log Art Theatre Academy's popular musical theatre camp returns! Join us for a week of all things musical theatre in 2024 to produce NEWSIES JR!
The Newsies Jr. production will include a free Log Art Theatre Academy Performance Workshop with the show’s producer, Angela R. Godin, that focuses on basic theatre concepts, tools and techniques to enhance characterization, character dissection and back story creation, improvisational skills, monologue and line delivery development, and the use of historic and economic status to allow campers to transform themselves. It will engage all levels of proficiency, while educating the participants on the history of the current show in production.
ABOUT NEWSIES JR:
Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.
When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right.
Including the now-classic songs "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," and "Santa Fe," Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.

Synopsis
A “revue” is a show made up of various songs and dances. The biggest difference between a revue and a traditional musical is that revues may not have overarching plots, unlike a traditional musical where the songs are designed to move the plot forward. Also, a revue may pull from many different musical theatre composers and shows. This revue is a sampling of different songs from the Broadway Junior® collection chosen specifically to give your cast members the biggest and best opportunities to shine. Pure Imagination is a brand-new revue featuring songs from across Music Theatre International's Broadway Junior® collection. From Broadway Junior musicals based on adored titles like Seussicaland Shrek The Musical to Disney favorites like Beauty and the Beast and Frozen, Pure Imagination offers a fun introduction to musical revues for young performers.
