A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards – including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved books, and featuring a hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale, this whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons.

Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe… all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.

The jazzy, upbeat score of A Year with Frog and Toad bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant and enchanting musical for the whole family. It is a perfect show to be performed by an ensemble group of actors and can be produced with either simple or extravagant staging and sets.

Season 13 kicks off in the fall of 2026 with an Elizabethan classic and a cornerstone of western civilization, Christopher Marlowe's DOCTOR FAUSTUS—a powerful cautionary tale about the pitfalls of limitless personal ambition, asking the question: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul?"
​
​The play follows Faustus’s rise as a magician through his pact with Lucifer—facilitated by the demon Mephistopheles—and his ultimate downfall as he fails to repent before his damnation. The play has had a lasting influence, inspiring adaptations across stage, film, and other media, and the characters of Faustus and Mephistopheles remain iconic figures in Western literature.

Our Christmas show in Season 13 isn't a typical holiday production, but it still features Father Christmas!

C.S. Lewis's most beloved tale of redemption returns to our professional stage 11-years after we first produced it in our Christmas slot to sold-out audiences. THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE is sure to sell out again this December.

This dramatization of C.S. Lewis' classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting world of Narnia. All the memorable episodes from the story are represented in this faithful dramatization: the temptation of Edmund by the witch, the slaying of the wolf by Peter, the witnessing of Aslan's resurrection by Susan and Lucy, the crowning of the four new rulers of Narnia, and more. The supporting characters are also here: the unicorn, the centaur, and other forest animals, along with Father Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and Tumnus the Faun. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

To ring in the 2027 new year, we are bringing back Robert Bolt's Tony Award Winning Best Play, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, about the inspiring true story of Sir Thomas More and his refusal to submit to King Henry VIII's Oath of Supremacy in 16th-century England. More's brilliant and courageous refusal ultimately led to his dramatic martyrdom and his canonization as a Catholic saint. This remarkable play has been adapted into an Oscar-winning film, and the play enjoyed a highly successful run at our original Minneapolis location back in early 2014.

To close out Season 13, we'll be producing another Best Play Tony Award Winner, THE MIRACLE WORKER, by William Gibson. This outstanding play, and the Oscar-winning film that resulted from it, tells the deeply inspiring story of Helen Keller and her "miracle worker" teacher, Annie Sullivan.
