About the Play:

The delightful and definitive musical adaptation concerns the valiant friendship of the good-hearted and poetic Water Rat; the innocent and curious Mole; and the sensible, practical Badger. This friendship is tested by the arrogant, wily, and slightly crazed Mr. Toad, an obsessive animal given to sudden and irrepressible whims, like stealing motorcars and fleeing from the law. Their thankless task is to save Toad from himself and then to rescue the magnificent Toad Hall from the Weasels, Ferrets, and Stoats who laid claim to it while Toad was in prison.

What to prepare:

Actors will also be asked to read from the script and learn a song from the show. ***Please arrive at 6PM - the auditions are being conducted in a large group format.***
