Bass Auditorium in Greenville, Mississippi as part of their Theatre for Youth program. The admissions fee is $ 5 per child with teachers and aids admitted free. The story unfolds as a handsome young prince who offends a wicked fairy has been turned into an ugly frog. Also in the land their is a beautiful princess who loses her golden ball down a garden well. The little ugly frog “prince” also lives in the well and he is the only one who can retrieve her golden ball.

This hilarious take on the classic tale not only pokes fun at our human foibles, but at the very nature of the fairy tale as well.
