Children in libraries' summer reading club get discounted Frog Prince Tickets

Children enrolled in the public libraries' Summer Reading Club, with the theme of "Open a book, jump in," will be able to take a dollar off of the cost of a ticket to The Tale of the Frog Prince, a participatory musical from Offshoot Productions slated for the LaFayette Educational Center in Fayetteville from July 20 to July 30.

Tickets, priced at $5 and available in early July, will cost only $4 for reading club members who show their folder with their name on it to ticket sellers or at the door. Tickets will be sold in advance at the Peachtree City Library, Fayette County Library, Omega Book Store (Peachtree City) and Fayette Book Shop (Fayetteville). According to Offshoot artistic director, Susan M. Steadman, Ph.D., Education is a major part of our theatre's mission, so the tie-in with the libraries is perfect.

The Tale of the Frog Prince will be presented in repertory with another participatory musical, The Further Adventures of Maide Marian. Both shows involve inviting children from the audience up on stage to make theatre magic with the actors.

For additional information, call (770) 631-2362 or e-mail to offshootpr@aol.com.
