About the Show

Blending ingenious masks, and creative costumes and astounding invention, Imago Theatre creates a living world of animation in FROGZ. Larvae cavort with acrobatic élan; an introverted frog challenges a bunch of athletic amphibians to a leap of faith; and a group of penguins waddle through a mad game of musical chairs. This incisively original, madcap show is filled with a multitude of creatures whose comical and clever occurrences provide striking, visual entertainment.

With a frog the size of a grown man and lizards the length of two, FROGZ turns the world upside down and inside out with fantastical illusions that explore the absurd nature of the world. Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad designed a number of clever vignettes that move sinuously from screwball comedy to high drama to abstract movement and back. Without spoken text, each piece is performed by the five-member cast to a diverse soundscape composed by Katie Griesar influenced by silent movies and circus melodies.
