A Year with Frog and Toad presented by Chicago Children's Theatre at The Station

Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Good stories about friendship never go out of style, and what makes Frog and Toad so special is the way they see the best in each other, warts and all. Toad’s tendency to catastrophize is met with patience and compassion by Frog, who never makes his anxious friend feel like a burden but emphasizes how much he brings to their relationship. May we all find such friends."

"...It’s back now in CCT’s home space in a delightfully homespun almost-in-the-round staging by Michelle Lopez-Rios that puts this story of the changing of the seasons and the steadfastness of friendship practically in our laps."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Smoothly directed by Michelle Lopez-Rios, with three playing areas. One area for each of the main characters and then a center area for the rest of the action. The seats are low and very close to the action. This play was first done in 2006, then re-visited in 2014 and again with the opening of their own center at 100 South Racine, where CCT calls home."

Third Coast Review - Highly Recommended

"...Nothing makes children’s theater more fun than seeing it with a roomful of giggly squirmy grade schoolers. Usually I review new plays at Chicago Children’s Theatre during a weekend performance—with an audience of parents and kids, a crowd half adult. But this week I had the pleasure of seeing A Year With Frog and Toad with two busloads of first and second graders. We all loved it."

Chicago Culture Authority - Recommended

"...It’s sweet, wholesome, spirited fun with big appeal for the toddler set, though probably less so for older kids. Meanwhile, parents may end up with some neck stiffness due to the somewhat awkward layout of the set, which requires significant head swiveling when the action swings between Frog and Toad’s bachelor pads."
