The musical A Year with Frog and Toad, based on characters and events in a series of popular children’s books by Arnold Lobel, earned three Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, during its run on Broadway. Now, the show that follows two friends—the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad—tours America in a charming production that entertains youngsters and appeals to their parents and grandparents. “Anyone who cherishes musical theatre and can beg or borrow a child from 4 up might be well advised to make a beeline … in search of tickets for A Year with Frog and Toad,” writes a New York Times reviewer. A jazzy score with a country-and-western thread and clever lyrics keep fingers snapping and toes tapping. Scenic designer Adrianne Lobel, the author’s daughter, developed the musical. Robert Reale composed the music, while Willie Reale wrote the book and lyrics.
Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders. McQuaide Blasko Attorneys at Law underwrites matinees for kids.
The Aulos Ensemble, formed by five graduates of The Juilliard School, has been garnering the attention of music lovers for more than thirty-five years. A New York Times critic describes the ensemble’s imaginative programs as “authentic Baroque performance at its best.” The ensemble—flutist Christopher Krueger, oboist Marc Schachman, violinist Linda Quan, cellist Myron Lutzke, and harpsichordist Arthur Haas—performs a program featuring George Frideric Handel’s Water Music and other works. The Penn State School of Music Baroque Ensemble, directed by Associate Professor Robert Nairn, joins the Aulos Ensemble to perform the three suites of Water Music, which premiered in 1717 when England’s King George I requested a concert on the River Thames.

The works of Shakespeare have inspired more operatic adaptations than any other writer’s. Simon Keenlyside and Natalie Dessay bring their extraordinary acting and singing skills to two of the Bard’s most unforgettable characters in this new production of Ambroise Thomas’s Hamlet. For the role of Ophelia, the French composer created an extended mad scene that is among the greatest in opera.

Back for its 3rd year at The State Theatre!
As part of its efforts to reinvigorate opera and reach out to a broader public, the Metropolitan Opera launched a groundbreaking program in December of 2006 —The Metropolitan Opera: Live in High-Definition, a series of opera performances transmitted live in HD to movie theaters around the world.
From its inaugural season, the series enjoyed critical acclaim and global box office success, attracting an audience of more than 325,000 attendees for six live and six encore events in seven countries. In the second season, the number of performances increased to eight live and eight encore events, seen in 17 countries, with audience numbers nearly tripling to more than 935,000.
The Met: Live in HD returns this fall, with 9 transmissions scheduled during the 2009–10 season. All performances take place on Saturdays at 1:00pm and are transmitted live. We have seen growing numbers of attendees here at the theatre. We have even created a group of State Theatre Opera Buffs with pre-opera discussions and luncheons. See what you’ve been missing!
