In June of 2006, Pollyanna performed Too Many Frogs the new play based on the award-winning book by Sandra Fenichel Asher at The Dougherty Arts Center to record crowds of Austin children and their families. Based on this success, Pollyanna made the production available to tour Central Texas schools during the 2006-07 school year.
Asher's Too Many Frogs is listed as recommended reading by the Texas Librarian's Association.
Testimonials:
"Everything about this performance, from the costumes to the set design, the dialogue to the pacing, held my youngest students captive throughout the show--almost a full 60 minutes! This was an event that will not soon be forgotten by our students."
From a letter written to Vincent Kitch, City of Austin
"The well-choreographed play with its beautifully painted backdrop and engaging cast of characters had students laughing out loud throughout and begging for more at the end. Months later they still recall the play fondly as they eagerly hunt for the book, Too Many Frogs, on our library shelves."
From a letter to the Texas Commission on the Arts
