Synopsis
Peace in the rainforest is disrupted when two chameleons get "stuck" in a conflict, with catastrophic results. Luckily for the lizards, a frog observing the fracas turns into exactly what they need... (no, not a prince)... a mediator. "Dinner for Two" tackles conflict in lively, humorous and provocative ways. It shows that amidst the chaos that differences create, there are still paths to reconciliation.
