THEATRE + COMEDY

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents "The Ugly Duckling" Starring Pinky Flamingo.  Produced by Bits ‘N’ Pieces Puppet Theatre Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 10am. Bits ‘N’ Pieces GIANT puppets perform in a musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story of The Ugly Duckling.

The story of the “ugly duck” is universal. Sometimes it's hard to be a bird of a different feather. At times we all feel we're an “ugly duck” and want only to be a beautiful swan.

Bits ‘N Pieces Theatre’s adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale The Ugly Duckling tells the story of Pinky, a perky, hot pink Florida flamingo, hatched by a couple of very proper Polar Penguin parents! Pinky Flamingo learns it’s hard to be different, but you must be yourself to find true happiness.

This high energy musical is a GIANT puppet production from Bits 'N Pieces Puppet Theatre.
