Frogtown Players performance based on beloved book series
Frogtown Players, a newly founded educational theatre organiza- tion dedicated to enriching arts education for children and families across Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan, was established in Fall 2024. What began as a small group of theatre enthusiasts with a shared vision—to help children learn about and connect with the arts— has quickly grown into a regional program.
Frogtown Players will stage “Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook” by Alli- son Gregory, (based on the beloved books by Barbara Park) at The Fran- ciscan Theatre at Lourdes University in Sylvania, with a performance for school and homeschool groups on March 6 at 10 am and a public performance on March 7 at 11 am.
