World Premiere: “The Incident at Toad Hall!”
Location: Fort Worth, TX
Type: Theater
Toad of Toad Hall is involved with, and discards, the latest fad, faster than you can say “river bank.” Ratty, Mole, Otter and Badger are used to rescuing their friend from his mischievous activities, but this time, Toad might have gone too far.
Adding to the problem, the weasels have taken over Toad’s home. Will Toad ever get Toad Hall back? Can his friends help him out of this jam? And, has Toad finally learned his lesson, for good?
Based on the beloved story “Wind in the Willows,” and cleverly crafted by long-time actor and playwright James T. Long, “The Incident at Toad Hall” will delight audiences young and old with familiar and memorable characters, humor, and the true meaning of friendship.
