The Ugly Duckling at Center for Puppetry Arts

Based on the beloved story by Hans Christian Andersen, The Ugly Duckling follows a rare bird who simply doesn't fit in. Helped by some friendly forest sprites, the duckling sets out to explore the wonders of the pond. On his journey, he meets a cast of colorful characters, braves the changing of the seasons, and finds his true self. With a beautifully created environment full of hidden musical instruments created by Atlanta's own Klimchak, The Ugly Duckling brings Andersen's transformative fable about life's often bumpy road to the stage.
