There were performances Friday evening and at noon today with a final show this evening at 7 in the middle school auditorium. Tickets are $5.

The musical is over an hour and follows the woodland adventures of two amphibious friends, the worrywart toad and a perky frog. In the course of a year, they encounter many hopping, crawling and flying companions, including bees, a mouse, snail, turtle, lizards, squirrels and moles.

Julia Graham, center, plays the role of Snail. She is joined by the Snow Dancers (Nicole Loney, left, and Kendall Peruzzini.)

The Snail is happy after successfully delivering a letter from Frog to Toad.

Makenzie Cook (Frog) writes a letter to Toad after Toad said he has never received any mail.
