Honk! Jr.
Center Stage Children's Theater presents this musical retelling of the Hans Christian tale of The Ugly Duckling and has been adapted for young performers. This production will be performed by a 25 student cast and 5 student crew ages 6-14.
Our tale takes place on a farm, where a little duckling is born and given the name Ugly for his awkward and gawky looks. Ugly’s brothers and sisters, as well as, the rest of the farm animals are quick to notice that he is different and point this out in a painful way. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little duckling unknowingly becomes lost and separated from his family in the duck-yard, which sends him on an adventure of self-discovery. Along his rollicking and harrowing journey, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters in addition to a very hungry and sly cat. Ugly finds love, acceptance and safety through his new friendships and discovers his own true beauty as he realizes being different is not a bad thing to be.
