We're celebrating the end of the year this week with the musical A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD. And just like the musical itself, this week's episode is filled with much more than you'd expect:

• A salute to the Midwest musical theatre contributions that made this groundbreaking show possible? Check.


• Perspectives from the show's original Broadway choreographer? Check.


• Real talk on the successes and pitfalls of Theatre for Young Audiences? Check.


• A deep dive into the earnest yet sophisticated stories of two loveable amphibians... WITH COOKIES!? Double check.

Join us for this packed conversation as guests Dr. Erica Halverson (host of Arts Educators Save the World) and director/choreographer Daniel Pelzig (Broadway's A Year with Frog and Toad and 33 Variations) bring their years of expertise to the intersection of children, theatre, and one of the most unique undertakings in modern Broadway history.
