Faustwork Mask Theatre is proud to present: Little Big Frog, a heart-warming and quirky retelling of the classic Grimm’s fairy tale "The Frog Prince". The show utilizes masks, music, dance, poetry, puppets, and physical theatre. Created for parents as well as children, Little Big Frog is recommended for family audiences and school grades K-6. The main characters are Little Big Frog, his human friend Bud, and the benevolent and funky Fairy Frog Mother. As the story unfolds, we learn that Little Big Frog has been “kissed with a kiss that nearly missed” and instead of turning into the Prince he yearns to be, he has simply become a really big frog. Bud is the inadvertent recipient of Fairy Frog Mother’s rusty magical powers, as he learns what it feels like to be an ant, a bug, a coyote, and more. When the princess fails to give the kiss that will make Little Big Frog happy, he realizes that his little life in the small pond was not so bad after all. The show had its world premiere as “Toy Faces” in 2004 with The Los Angeles Music Center, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the new landmark building and architectural marvel designed by Frank Gehry, and has been touring extensively throughout Canada ever since.
