Dear Arden Children’s Theatre Family, Thank you for subscribing to our 2015/16 Arden Children’s Theatre Season! This season has been filled with great stories from two literary classics. Last winter, we experienced the thrill of the big race with Hans and Gretel in Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates, and laughed ourselves silly this spring at the music and madcap adventures of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. We thank you for joining us this season and invite you to return for the 2016/17 Season! Take a look at the wonderful stories we’re bringing to you next season: A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD (Winter 2016) Music by Robert Reale Book and Lyrics by Willie Reale Developed by Adrianne Lobel Directed by Whit MacLaughlin Frog and Toad are back! In a revival of one of the Arden’s most treasured children’s theatre productions, an unlikely friendship between the cheerful Frog and the rather grumpy Toad blossoms and grows as they travel through four fun-filled seasons learning life lessons along the way. Barrymore Award winners Jeff Coon and Ben Dibble return as the amphibious best friends in this charming musical that promises to delight the whole family! A world premiere! THE LIGHT PRINCESS (Spring 2017) Adapted by Tony Lawton From the story by George MacDonald Music by Alex Bechtel Based on a Scottish legend by George MacDonald, this new musical tells the story of a teenager who has no gravity of any kind – in addition to having no feelings for others she floats in the air, unable to ever touch the ground. Filled with wonderful characters and a beguiling score, this enchanting, clever and wickedly funny new musical will delight kids and parents alike.
