CALENDAR Children’s book author Arnold Lobel wrote the fi rst book of his classic Frog and Toad series in 1970, and in the fashion of Matilda and Mary Poppins, the series was turned into a musical. Playing at Springfi eld High School this weekend, A Year with Frog and Toad follows the adventures of two amphibian friends who are of confl icting dispo- sitions — Frog, played by Felicia Staff ord, is an eternal optimist, and Toad (Amanda Grimes) tends toward grumpy negativity. As one might expect, the remaining cast of characters includes birds, a snail, a turtle and a mouse. Since this production takes place in the cozy Studio Theatre, reservations are recommended. A Year with Frog & Toad shows 7:30pm Thursday, Feb. 13, & Friday, Feb. 14, with a matinee performance at 2pm Saturday, Feb. 15, at Springfi eld High School, 875 N. 7th St., Spfd., call 914-8095 for tix. $8, $5 stu. & sr. — Amy Schneider or seeking information about divorce, noon-1pm, Community Mediation Services, 93 Van Buren St., info at 2ndsaturdayeugene. org or 239-3504. $25/4 classes. 8 Possible Beginnings: Slavery, Pornography & Formal Origins, w/Arlene R.
