There are elements I've come to expect from Olympia Family Theater: technical polish, figurative costumes, jokes for adults and, above all, an auditorium full of gleeful kids hopping in their seats. OFT and director Jenny Greenlee continue that reliable tradition with a reprise of A Year with Frog and Toad. I suppose the rules of disclosure oblige me to inform you Ms. Greenlee is my brother's girlfriend, but that didn't weigh in my assessment. The truth is it was hard to find anything to quibble about.
If the script has any drawback, it's that it doesn't have much of a plot.
