First Stage Children's Theater brings to life the adventures of Arnold Lobel's beloved characters -- the boundlessly happy Frog and his worry-wart friend, Toad -- in "A Year with Frog and Toad."

Despite their differences, they have a lot of fun together while gardening, swimming, kite flying, tobogganing and more. Along with their forest friends and jazzy, upbeat music, they bring home the values of trust, loyalty and warm cookies.

"A Year with Frog and Toad" runs through May 18 and is most appreciated by people at least 3 years old. On Mother's Day, May 11, the first 75 moms or grandmas at both performances will get a free rose.
