“Saving Frogton’s Home” written and directed by Karen Kester

At Murwillumbah civic centre auditorium

Dates – Sat Oct 18 to Sun Nov 3

An Australian adaptation of the fairytale classic, The Frog Prince, the first in a collection by Brothers Grimm. Prince Frogton gets a little help from his friends, Pixie Millicent, the Keeper of the Crystal Ball, and two brothers Zeb and McKendrick to not only find his Princess but save his waterhole.

This is a hilarious pantomime for the whole family that follows the adventures of the friends as they set out to find wealth, romance and save a piece of Aussie bushland from over-zealous developers.

This is a light- hearted comical pantomime that explores the importance of protecting our native species. The audience interacts with the characters through song and dance whilst cheering on the heroes and booing the villains.

It’s Zeb’s birthday and as he blows out the candles on his cake, he wishes for a best friend. Instead, he receives an anonymous crystal ball with an annoying pixie living in it. What’s worse, he must learn to use it.

Together, and with the help of the magical fairytale characters of the Frog Prince (Brothers Grimm) and with some new ones added in for a laugh, Zeb learns why he must do everything in his power to stop the developers from turning the precious home of an army of endangered Southern Barred frogs into a large shopping centre, even if that means overcoming his fears. If Zeb finds his magic, his birthday wish might just come true, bigger and better than ever.
