What is a Studio Series show?
In this hands-on performance workshop, students will learn how to prepare and present their best selves in auditions, collaborate with their fellow cast mates in the rehearsal process, and put on a fun and vibrant performance in ACT’s 35below! Every aspect is designed to nurture creativity, foster teamwork, and instill a genuine love for theatre. All students are encouraged to participate, regardless of their previous experience or exposure to theatre.
Our Studio Series productions do fill up fast! We recommend signing up in advance to secure your spot.
Looking for more shows? Check out our other Youth Productions here! We also have youth classes, Mainstage auditions, and countless ways to get involved!
ACT offers financial assistance for our Studio Series, and we work hard with each family to make sure that cost is not an obstacle to participation.
Registration for Fall and Winter 1 programs opens on August 17, 2026. Registration for Winter 2 and Spring programs opens in November 2026.
A Year with Frog & Toad Kids
Ages 5-11
About the show: Adapted from the three-time-Tony-nominated Broadway hit comes A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS. 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 a friendship that endures throughout the 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.
