AUDITIONS for A Year With Frog and Toad

“A Year With Frog and Toad” is a whimsical musical based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved children’s books. HCLT auditions for this Broadway hit and Tony Award nominee, written by Willie and Robert Reale will be held:

Monday, November 3rd for kids 6-14 and

Tuesday, November 4th for teens 15 and up and adults

from 6:30-8:30PM at The Prizery

If you are not able to come on the night your age group is called, please come the other night or contact us for further information.

“A Year With Frog and Toad” is traditionally cast as adults performing for children, but Director Sandy Slayton, Musical Director Lynn Good, and Magic Creator Suzi Robbins hope to include adults, teens, and some children in this musical production. Those hoping to join the fray should come prepared to sing a short song to showcase their voice talent, read bits from the script, and play a few improvisational games. In addition, the directors welcome auditioners to perform a short monologue if they would like to do so. Monologues are not mandatory, but could be helpful in showcasing your acting talents.

The cast will consist of up to 20 actors including:
Frog: optimistic, caring, calm, adventurous
Toad: sometimes grumpy, but a good friend
Birds: a group of six or seven birds who sing us through the seasons
Other animals: Lizard, Snail, Mole, Mouse, Squirrel, Turtle, Mother Frog, Father Frog, Young Frog, Big Terrible Frog

Frog, Toad, Turtle, Young Frog, and Birds should be strong singers.
Birds will need to be able to sing harmony for several of their songs.

Performances of “A Year With Frog and Toad” are scheduled: Feb 19-March 1, 2026. Including three weekday dates for daytime student performances and a Lunch with The Characters Event following the morning matinee on Saturday, Feb 28.

Rehearsals will begin in early November and will be held 3 nights weekly, with some additional time for choreography for some characters until performances begin.

HCLT is also looking for adults or older teens to join the production crew of “A Year With Frog and Toad”. If you are interested in helping to prompt, coach, create, gather, organize, build, paint, or help in any way, contact Sandy Slayton at mzslay10@gmail.com.
