What makes a hero? When it comes to Austin Theatre Heroes, it comes from breathing incredible new life into classics of children’s literature. Their 2017 production of Call of the Wild was more than just Noel Gaulin recreating every character, whether four- or two-legged, against a stunning projected background of gigantic illustrations. It was a true journey into the wilds. Now Gaulin and company find the same thrills and wonders in Kenneth Grahame’s delightful tale of the English countryside, and how Mr. Toad learned to be his own kind of hero. – Richard Whittaker
