The Frog Prince
of Spamalot
By Edith Weiss
Directed by Jake Gustine
Asst. Directed by Jared Bartholomew
Stage Manager Becca Couch
Presented through special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, Inc.
Hyronomous A. Frog doesn't fit in with the other frogs in the bog; he's much larger and has no taste for flies! Gloria the Good Witch reveals that a maiden's kiss is needed to lift the curse that transformed him from a prince into a frog. So he travels to Spamalot and.....!
(sorry, frog in our throat - you'll just have to watch the show to find out!)
The mission of MCT is to spark imaginations by presenting professional quality children’s theatre on a consistent basis. We have been staging a variety of artistic performances in Austin since 1975. We believe our artists and performers deserve to have a platform from which they can share their creative and innovative works. And we thank you for joining us today for yet another creative and innovative work, all thanks to these gracious adults and talented kiddos!

Meeting every Monday and Tuesday starting after Independence Day, they create their very own showcase to perform for the public in August!As part of our mission, we strive to help youth learn important social skills and build self-esteem, confidence, and creative thinking. They also learn the importance of teamwork and respect, while serving in the community.
