AveKids, Tears of Joy Theatre bring ‘The Toad Prince’ to stage

The City of Auburn AveKids series and Tears of Joy Theatre present the fairy tale “The Toad Prince” at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Auburn Avenue Theater, 10 Auburn Ave.

Join the AveKids in discovering the secret of happiness as Indri, who watches over the Magical Healing Waters and learns to care more for others than for himself. Born with the head and hands of a toad, Indri is sad and bitter about his appearance and wishes to be “beautiful.” Through acts of kindness, he learns the virtue of benevolence and finally transforms into a human.

The AveKids series showcases local and regional acts and touring presentations with an emphasis on audiences ages 4 through 12 and their parents, families or friends.

Tickets are $10. Call Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation at 253-931-3043 or order online. All tickets subject to a 75-cent processing fee
