Today is a special Frog and Toad Friday because we get to start celebrating the seniors in our cast!
Meet cast member Lizzy Frisbie! Lizzy is a senior at HHS and this is her fourth production for HHS Drama Club! Lizzy will be taking on the roles of Mouse and Mole in A Year With Frog and Toad.
Lizzy's quiet personality shines on and off stage in such a unique way. She is so quiet that sometimes we don't know she's arrived at rehearsal and we will ask if anyone has seen or heard from her and she will calmly raise her hand to show us she's there. She displays this same calming presence on stage. We are so lucky she plucked up the courage to audition for Trap several years ago because she has been a positive and loving addition to our group ever since. We are so excited to watch the amazing impact she is going to have on the world!
Please join us in congratuating Lizzy on her senior show and her time in Drama Club! We are so proud of you, Lizzy!
HHS Drama Club will present A Year With Frog and Toad May 5th-7th at Lewis Street Playhouse! Tickets are on sale now at https://our.show/frogandtoad. Don't miss your chance to see Lizzy and her castmates tell these classic and heartwarming stories!

Faith is our resident mother hen and takes such good care of all of the members of our cast! She is constantly checking in with everyone and making sure we are where we are supposed to be. There is no one more reliable and dependable. If Faith tells you she is going to do something, you can consider it done. This girl (along with her sister) continually organizes our props and costumes and spends part of her summer packing everything up so we can find it the following year. Her giving heart and dedication to our organization make us ALL better and we are so lucky she is part of this cast!
