Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling, this is a delightful and heartwarming musical that tells the story of a duckling who looks a little different from his siblings. Teased and shunned by the other animals in the barnyard, they set off on a journey to find where they truly belong. Along the way, we meet a colorful cast of characters, including a cunning cat, a comical bullfrog, and a kindly goose, each teaching something new about life.
Take center stage with this skill-intensive performance class! Students refine acting skills through the process of auditioning, rehearsing, and performing in a musical taught by professional actors, directors, and choreographers straight off Childsplay's stages. The first week of rehearsals are on our main campus and the second week students rehearse at the Tempe Center for the Arts with final performances on the last day of class.
