Wednesday, March 28th Events

Play: Ugly Duckling/Tortoise and the Hare

Time: 10:00 am & noon
Place: Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 South Main St, Concord, NH (about 50 miles from Keene)
Price: $7
Ages: Recommended K-4

Teased, chased, and pushed aside from his friends and family, Ugly Duckling must run away from the pond and venture out on his own. Through the different seasons and new friends along the way, he continues his search for others who will love him for who he really is…an ugly duckling?

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. “

These two beloved children’s classics will be brought to life using the same mesmerizing light wire technology that was developed for Darwin the Dinosaur.
