A Year with Frog and Toad - February 29 - March 1
Hackensack Performing Arts Center, Hackensack
Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens,
swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way.
The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that
make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe…
all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that
endures throughout the seasons. The jazzy, upbeat score of A Year with
Frog and Toad bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive,
exuberant and enchanting musical for the whole family. It is a perfect
show to be performed by an ensemble group of actors and can be
produced with either simple or extravagant staging and sets.
Radio Golf - February 29 – March 22
Two River Theater, Red Bank
Director Brandon J. Dirden (King Hedley II, Seven Guitars) returns to
Two River to direct our sixth production from August Wilson’s Ameri-
can Century Cycle—Radio Golf, the Cycle’s 10th and final play, set in
1997. Real-estate developer Harmond Wilks is determined to become
the first black mayor of Pittsburgh, and to revitalize the Hill District.
Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods are ready to move in.
But one particular house on the development site, at 1839 Wylie Av-
enue, must be torn down, a casualty of urban blight. And that house
belonged to Wilson’s legendary Aunt Ester—forcing Harmond, and the
Hill District itself, into a battle between the past and the future.
