ARHS Musical: "A Year with Frog and Toad" Premieres Tonight!
This year's musical at the high school will be of special interest to families with younger students. A Year with Frog and Toad is a relatively recent Broadway musical, based on the popular children's books. It is scheduled to go out on tour again soon, but we have been issued the rights to perform it here this spring. It will certainly appeal to the elementary school crowd, but its sly wit and clever questioning of the intersections between dream and reality will make it engaging for older students and adults as well.
All performances are in the ARHS auditorium.
Snow date Sunday, March 1: 2:00
Ticket Prices Reserved seats (rows F-Q)
$15 for general public
$10 for students/seniors/staff
Unreserved seats (rows R-Z)
