A Year with Frog and Toad

Anthony is a local actor, singer, director and educator, and played Mr. Grumps (with Loretta!) on the outdoor stage in Lyle, the Crocodile. He dedicates his performance to all the awesome kids in his life.

Jared Hagan (Toad) – Jared has played many silly characters at Cape Rep’s Outdoor Theater including two elephants, a frog, a pirate, a cow and a dinosaur. He enjoys eating cookies, reading books and snuggling with his puppy Penny.

Jessica Georges (Snail) – Jess always looks forward to getting her yearly dose of youth serum from performing children’s theater here at Cape Rep every summer.  Playing characters like pigs, chickens, and pirates, have given her the energy she needs to keep up with her loving children Cora and Kai. Thanks Cape Rep for keeping me young and silly!

Marie Becklo (Mouse) – Marie is so excited to be all sorts of animals in A Year with Frog and Toad after appearing in last summer’s Elephant and Piggie. Her favorite season is summer–it elevates the mood!

Thomas Leidenfrost (Turtle) – Tom is finally playing the role he was born to play; a kooky, old turtle among other animals. Tom would like to dedicate his performance to anyone who likes bananas. If you hear an accordion this summer it’s probably Tom.

Victoria Flores (Director) Victoria is a New York City based director who likes ice cream, small humans and puppies (especially Penny). Special thanks to Kano Mosher for being the greatest dramaturg yet.
