Frog Belly's journey to WEHO



It was last weekend that Frog Belly journeyed to West Hollywood to perform at their delightful and exuberantly inclusive book fair.  I had a devil of a time parking and ended up having to yell my way into a lot because I actually heard from a distance the show had already begun.  The show was terrific and it was great seeing Shannon and Eric again who I had missed both in out and of puppet-dom.  
The crowd grew throughout the performance (a shortened brief Frog Belly at just  40 min) and by the end they had put out so many more folding chairs that the crowd extended far out from under the rear of the tent.  Included in the photos is a picture of a hen that was in a costume which is often the one thing I say... 'this book fair needs a hen in a costume.'  Thankfully it was there which made for a complete perfect and delightful day.  It feels so good to be able to say the Rogues are performing Frog Belly Rat Bone in our community and bringing quality performances to younger audiences that don't talk down to them, while also respecting parent and child alike.
