Rapunzel & Hyronomous A. Frog, The Frog Prince

Boettcher-Tate and Hyronomous A. Frog,
The Frog Prince, adapted by Edith
Weiss, both produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama. These

Rene Shwartzbuckle is cuckoo for a turnip-like vegetable
called rapunzel. When she spots a mouth-watering patch of the plant in
Witch Izwitch’s garden, she sends her husband Walt out to ’borrow’ some. Witch
Izwitch is certainly not amused! We then jump ahead many years to Rapunzel
Shwartzbuckle’s 18th birthday. The witch whisks poor, innocent Rapunzel away to
a tower in the forest. From here, a boisterously entertaining rescue attempt
begins! Filled with plenty of action and fresh,
hysterical characters, this show gives a new twist to an old story and a gentle
message about the nature of beauty.

A take on the classic fairytale, The
Frog Prince, this play will delight audiences of all ages.

hates the taste of flies. When he finds out he is a human under a spell, he
sets out on an adventure to find the one that can set him free! He meets crazy
characters in a castle and a friend who tries to help him on his quest.
