The Frog Prince:
July 15 – July 20 St.
Location: St. Clare Walker, Middlesex

Conceived and Written by Michael McGill
Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill
Additional Music by Rebecca McGill

Deep in the royal swamp, a lonely Frog retrieves a golden ball from Princess Prim in exchange for friendship and comfort. The spoiled princess doesn’t want to live up to her part of the bargain, and puts her royal Knights on alert. And so the trouble begins. Luckily, Frog gets some good advice from Ollie the wise old Aspen tree, the well-read Alligator, and the kindly Swamp Things. The Ducks, a busy Fly and dancing Flamingos also come to Frog’s assistance as the Frog’s kindly servant tirelessly
tries to set things right. Even the Queen, kindly Princess Proper, and spunky Princess Peppy get involved and, despite the trouble caused by the nasty Venus Fly Traps, all ends happily. Our hero
becomes a Prince (formerly known as Frog) and realizes that friendships are made, not bought—and he discovers that it is not what you are but who you are that counts.
The Secret Garden:
July 8 – July 13, 2013
Lighthouse Worship Center, Gloucester

Conceived and Written by Michael McGill
Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill

The Secret Garden, an original Missoula Children's Theatre rendition, is a joyful retelling of a story of hope and celebration and all good things in life. Mistress Mary Quite Contrary embarks on a journey from India to her uncle's home in England. Along the way she makes friends with the hilarious Canadian Geese and the colorful Giant Bugs that Rock! In time she learns to appreciate everything around her, including the Moor Animals and the helpful Fireflies. Add to that a good healthy dose of caring, and what happens? Colin, Martha, Archibald - well the whole household - begin to enjoy the return of health and happiness in a garden carefully tended…until it blossoms once more.

The Secret Garden is currently at capacity. Registrations submitted will be placed on a waiting list.

The Frog Prince has filled up for children ages 8-12. Registrations submitted for this age range will be placed on a waiting list. There is still space available for children ages kindergarten - 7 and 13 - 18.
