Virginia Rep presents "The Frog Prince" at Kelsey Theatre

originally published: 04/15/2024


(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- A frog, a princess — and puppets! — bring the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale "The Frog Prince" to life for two performances only by Virginia Rep on Tour, Saturday, April 20, 2024 at 1:00pm & 4:00pm at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College's (MCCC) West Windsor Campus.

When a spoiled but lonely princess drops her golden ball into a wishing well, a noble frog retrieves it in exchange for her promise of friendship. The princess breaks her promise and must face the music – and in the process, learning a valuable lesson about true friendship.

This colorful, humorous adaptation of the classic fairy tale was first recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Virginia Repertory Theatre’s beautiful production of “The Frog Prince” showcases an amphibian ensemble created by internationally acclaimed puppet master Terry Snyder.

Performances of “The Frog Prince” will be held at MCCC’s Kelsey Theatre, 1200 Old Trenton Road in West Windsor, N.J., on Saturday, April 20, 2024 at 1:00pm & 4:00pm. Tickets are $16 for adults and $14 for seniors, children and students. They may be purchased online at kelseytheatre.org or by calling the Kelsey Box Office at (609) 570-3333. Kelsey Theatre is wheelchair accessible, with free parking available next to the theater. For more information or to receive a printed copy of the brochure, call the box office or visit the theater website.

Since 1975, Virginia Rep has created exciting and innovative theatrical productions for young audiences, staging six shows in Richmond, and touring with national-caliber, educational plays to schools and public venues across the country.
