The lonely Frog of the title is played by two local youngsters, Jackson Pietrzak and Maria Hathaway. Casey Mortenson has the role of Ollie the Aspen Tree. Jalena LeMaster will play promise-breaker Princess Prim; her sisters, Princess Proper and Princess Peppy will be acted by Jenna King and Erica Hammaker.
Casey Puckett, Josiah Hootman, Brayden York, Seth Conway, Mason Demange, Mitchell Rawlins, Tanner Herrman, and A.J. Warner were cast as the noble but goofy Knights of the Castle. Kassidy York will be featured as Bertha the Alligator; the slimy, but kindly Swamp Things will be played by Brooks Blakeley, Taylor Denniston, Hope Stewart, Rachel Unger, Lucy Stiefel, Wiley Knepshield, Brett Campbell, Tyler Strait, Lillian Pietrzak, Lauren Warner, Christian Layman, Preston Pietrzak, Reagan Herndon, Chloe Rawlins, Zachary Miller, Sarah Crumrine, and Natalie House.
Featured as the flashy Flamingos are Jackie Kensinger, Ashley Adams, Nikki Wheeler, Lyssa Middlestetter, Hannah Coakley, Abigail White, Lauren Durham, and Grace Coakley. Jordan Campbell, Alia Ayette, Sophie Gettinger, Madelyn Durham, and Cole Kramer will play the waddling Ducks.
Grace Krauss has the role of the busy Fly who tries to escape from the nasty Venus Fly Traps played by Bradley Alder, Maxwell Jordan, Katharine Kauffman, Dillon Swank, Isaac White, Eva Woodworth, Carter Puckett, Winifred Stiefel, Maggie House, Isabelle Rammel, Isaac Gulley, Israel Layman, Alex Strait, Kale Conway, and Foster Brown.
Sara Rice, Micaela Kauffman, Addison Griffith, and Sarah Kensinger will serve as Assistant Directors, aiding the MCT Acting /Directing team of Sarah Mergener and Hannah Strickland. Judy Kugel will serve as the show’s accompanist.
