5. As far as Cape Cod's gifts to an
artist, he believes there is something
important and elemental about the
Cape, however endangered are its
woods, beaches, the nautical life, the
romance of beautiful old boats. He
prizesits antiquities andits past.While
most of America is caught up with to-
day and tomorrow, "I like to paint old
houses and empty shorelines, places
man has touched , but not destroyed"
he said. He accepts the many changes
that have occurred in the Cape and
Islands just in the last 10 years but
stands strong in his statement: "What
I paint ignores change."
Julian Baird, president of Tree's
Place, the prestigious Orleans gallery
that markets Higham's work , recalls
the year that artist asked the gallery
to refrain from pre-selling his work.
On the first morning of the Higham
show, Baird and his wife arrived at
the gallery early to find 45 to 50 people
waiting at the front door. They gave
the people numbers and let them in
to look and buy, just one party at a
time and one painting to a customer.
Baird recalled: "When we got through
the process, all but one painting had
been sold, and we sold that one the
night of the opening."
The Cahoon Museum of American Art on Route 28
in Cotuit is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday and 1to 4 p.m. Sunday. Tom Higham will
discuss his work at 11a.m. on May 16.

willthey grow, Frog?" He pleads. "Soon,
Toad. Soon."
Unsure of when "soon" may be, Toad
barks the order to grow at the seeds only
to become stricken with guilt as he fears
he's frightened them. In apology, Toad
offers endlesskindnessto the seeds,even
performing a comicalinterpretive dance
for themthat had the crowd doubled over
with laughter.
When Frog and Toad get together on-
stage,hilarity,tenderness and occasional
mayhem ensue.The two friends weather
everything,including an argument, with
aplomb.
Rounding out this wonderful show is
a delightful hodgepodge of creatures
that enhances the adventures of our
funny friends.
Nicky Blodgett, in the role of Snail,
the languid letter carrier, is a riot. Not
only does her character take forever to
deliver Frog'sletter to Toad, she does so
with awalkthat wouldbring a grinto the
most stone-faced viewers.
Along with Snail are Turtle, Moles,
Squirrels, and a very cheeky Mouse that
appears from Toad's cupboard just in
time for freshly baked cookies.
Each of the players bears a singing
voice that simply, well, rocks. From
Hopper's rich, velvety baritone to the
well-blended harmonies of the ensemble,
these are singers you want to listen to
again and again, particularly during
fantastic songslike "Get aLoad of Toad"
and "Cookies."
Providingexcellentinstrumentationfor
the show are keyboardist Robert Wilder,
drummer Brad Conant and on clarinet,
saxophone and flute, Pat Riley.
Costumes, designed by the artful
Robin McLaughlin, are fabulous. Frog
is resplendent in green over green over
green, while Toad is plucky in shades
of brown paisley.Wonderful touches in-
clude Snail's pink antennae, the moles'
sunglasses, and bold red on the birds. I
want to know where Frog got his lime
green topsiders!
Directing this masterful musical is
Terry Norgeot, with musical direction
provided by Robert Wilder. Under their
combined tutelage, this show evolves
from a simple children's musical into a
truly enchanting event.
If you loved reading Frog and Toad
books withyour children,thisisthe show
for you. Even ifyou're unfamiliarwith the
amphibiouspals,thisisamust-see event.
When the curtain callcomes,I guarantee
you'll be on your feet withthe rest of the
crowd, wishing there was more.
"A Year With Frog and Toad" will run through May
28 with performances on Friday and Saturday eve-
nings at 7:30 (no show on May 26), and Sundays
at 4 p.m. Two special matinees will be held at 4
p.m. on May 13 and 20. For tickets ($18; $16 for
65-plussers , $12 for under-21ers), call 508-432-
2002, ext. 4.
