Description:
Away from the pond and on his own, the Ugly Duckling’s adventures lead him on a search for others who will love him for who he is. The famous story of the race between the Tortoise and the Hare is best known today for teaching the moral that "slow and steady wins the race."
The electroluminescent wire (EL Wire) puppets and props are three dimensional and brought to life by 3 performers who are dressed in full black. Each glow in the dark story will feature classical and contemporary music ranging from jazz to pop. At this time, short narration will precede each story.
