Cliques…nerds…and toads! What do these have in common? They all appear in D.W. Gregory’s The Secret Lives of Toads,of course. Director Fred Yockers and the Friday Harbor Middle School Players present this funny play, set (coincidentally) in a middle school classroom, on Friday through Sunday, March 26-28. The story centers on poor Harvey, facing his first day at a brand new school where things look none too inviting. The cool kids have staked out their territory and there’s no room in their cliques for kids with “different” attitudes. The drama and humor unfolds while a group of “Toads” (played by actors) watch, making comments and getting involved in a surprise ending. Yockers is casting more than two dozen 6th, 7th and 8th graders in this “toadally” fun farce.
