Mansfield Arts YMCA (40 Balcom St, Mansfield)
A Year with Frog & Toad KIDS (ages 7-10)
Based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved books, the jazzy, upbeat score bubbles with melody. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, and all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS tells the story of two great friends—the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad–through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. Throughout the year, two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.

Cyrano de Burgershack
Cyrano is king of the local Burger Shack, but he can’t seem to win the love of his best friend, Roxanne. When Roxanne confesses her crush on the new burger-flipper, Christian, Cyrano decides that playing Cupid is better than sitting out of the game. An updated, modern-day version of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, this rollicking musical features hit pop songs such as “All Star,” “Firework,” “Call Me Maybe,” “Less Than Perfect,” and many more, that will have audiences cheering, and maybe even singing along.
