The Old Gem’s “Frog Prince” is a zany audience-participation play that tells the tale of three comically inept servants. When Lester the Jester accidentally turns the prince into a frog farcical confusion and slapstick hilarity ensue. Calm and reason are not restored until the actors finally turn to the audience for help. This funny story is geared for young audiences but is sure to bring a smile to all. The kids enjoy participating in the show and adults enjoy the antics that happen when the kids help out.
Adapted and directed by Artistic Director Kathy Welch, “Frog Prince” features Old Gem actors Rital Black Tredal of Roberts, Tom Monn of Woodbury and Virginia Haggart of Loretto.
Tickets are $11 for adults, $9 for children. Some weekday matinees for groups are still available at special group rates. Group leaders can call the theater for details.
