Second Grade Takes a Trip to the Theatre

On Friday morning, the second grade classes went to the Arden Theatre to see the play, A Year With Frog and Toad.  We chose to see this production because the students had read Frog and Toad are Friends, a book about two best friends, earlier in the year.  This musical production starred Ben Dibble as Toad and Jeffrey Coon as Frog.  The students LOVED it and were acting out different parts of the story and singing songs the rest of the day!  At the end of the show, we had an extra special treat, courtesy of Harper's dad, John Flak, who used to work at the Arden.  He introduced us to Glen Perlman, the technical director, who answered many of our questions about the set and special effects.  We also got to meet "Frog" and "Toad" and ask them questions!  The show is running through the end of January if you want to see it.  The second graders give it two very big thumbs up!!
