Arnold Lobel’s treasured characters hop from page to stage in a story of friendship and adventure as Centenary Stage Company’s Young Audience Series presents “A Year with Frog and Toad” a special, one day only performance.

“A Year with Frog and Toad” will be taking place Saturday, Nov. 2, at 11 a.m. in Centenary University’s Little Theatre at 400 Jefferson St.

A hit on Broadway, the family-friendly musical based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved books was nominated for three Tony Awards. The whimsical show, which features a hummable score, follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons. 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 and all charm, “A Year with Frog and Toad” tells the story of a friendship that can weather all seasons.

Tickets for this special showing are $12.50 for adults and $10 for children under 12. A special $5 rate will be offered for Hackettstown residents with a valid ID or utility bill reflecting an in-town address.

Several times a year, the Young Audience Series offers stage adaptations of beloved classic children’s literature. In addition to “in-house” performances, the Young Audience Series offers a selection of productions available for touring.
