Synopsis
With
the
sun
and
the
moon
serving
as
storytellers,
this
classic
tale
of
transformation
comes
to
life.
An
out-of-place
baby
swan
does
not
fit
in
with
her
adorable,
but
mean-
spirited
duckling
siblings.
She
takes
flight
to
discover
new
friends
and
her
true
self.
This
educational
play
has
a
large
flexible
cast
and
includes
movement
and
group
recitation
for
younger
actors
who
struggle
with
reading
and
memorizing
lines.
This
script
is
perfect
for
classroom
performance
and
lends
itself
to
puppet and mask work.
