Schools Tour

The Princess and the Frog School's Tour

Throughout December we are taking The Princess and the Frog on tour to primary schools across the High Peak, and we would love you to book this magical modern classic for your school!

Aimed at ages 3-8, The Princess and the Frog, by Robin Kingsland (writer of BOH Creates' production of Rumpelstiltskin, 2024) will ignite imaginations in this lively and accessible retelling of a traditional tale, using text, songs, music, and characterisation.

Within this 60-minute play, we explore kindness, friendship, sharing, teamwork, and the importance of keeping a promise. The play also touches on loneliness and the difference between a good and a bad promise.
