TMP announces the 2010-11 TCMT Season
featuring three exciting stories told by
some of your favorite adult TMP performers:



A Year With Frog and Toad
   Theatre for Young Audiences Version


Book and Lyrics by Willie Reale
Music by Robert Reale
Directed by Maria Valenzuela

Based on the books by Arnold Lobel

October 23, 24, 30 & 31, 2010 at 2 pm
Mid-Week School Group Matinees: October 26th & 28th at 10:30 am

Age Rating: Suitable for all ages.

Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale's musical A Year With Frog And Toad. This delightful show remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad, through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.

Celebrate Read Across America and the birthday of Dr. Seuss with TMP! From the Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Once On This Island, A Christmas Carol), Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza which brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. "Oh, the Thinks You Will Think" as the spirit of imagination transports the colorful characters from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Who’s.

Read Across America is an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association, and includes National Read Across America Day, observed each year on March 2nd, the birthday of Dr. Seuss.

Miss Nelson's class is the worst behaved in the whole school! Spitballs flying across the room, paper airplanes sailing every which way, and uncontrollable children send the gentle, long-suffering teacher, Miss Nelson, over the edge. But the students of Room 207 are in for a surprise when Miss Nelson turns up missing and is replaced by Viola Swamp, the scariest substitute teacher ever. In desperation, the students set out to find their beloved Miss Nelson... but will they ever get her? Enduring lessons of appreciation and respect from the creator of last season's hit production, Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business!
