The Journey to Find Your True Self
Adapted by Michael Haverty
Based on the beloved classic by Hans Christian Andersen
A young bird simply doesn’t fit in with the other ducks in the pond. 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 and courageously braves the seasons that help him discover his true self.
With a beautifully created environment full of hidden musical instruments created by Atlanta Percussionist Klimchak, The Ugly Duckling brings to the stage Andersen’s transformative fable about life’s bumpy road.
Your Center ticket includes the performance, admission to the Worlds of Puppetry Museum, and the Create-A-Puppet Workshop™.
