Imago Theate’s Frogz

You expect to see blue hair at Lakewood and Broadway Rose. You expect to sit amongst Lind-say and her budding, leading philanthropist friends at Portland Center Stage and Artists Repertory Theatre (listen to Episode 88 for the reference).

And not just children, but a sea of children. That’s what greeted them, and defied their expectations, when Eric and James went to see the company’s mainstay, Frogz. James had never seen the long-running show, and Eric had barely seen a version of it many moons ago. So perhaps any expectation was unfairly based.
