Get ready to waddle into a world of fun, laughter, and important life lessons with Carousel Theatre for Young People‘s presentation of The Sissy Duckling. A Theatre Outre production, The Sissy Duckling will delight audiences of all ages on stage from March 12-16th and be the perfect start to your Spring Break adventures.
In this one-of-a-kind original musical, audiences will meet Elmer, the Sissy Duckling, who is a feathery friend that doesn’t always follow the flock. Elmer is a happy and zany fellow, but he likes to do things differently than the others. While the other ducks are playing baseball or building a fort, Elmer would rather bake a cake or put on a puppet show. Even though Elmer loves to follow his passions and doesn’t mind ruffling a few feathers in pursuing his interests, it can get a little lonely being the only one who doesn’t follow the flock. Unfortunately, not every duck feels the same and when Elmer is called a “sissy” by one of his flock, he decides it’s time to teach his family and his flock that there is beauty in being different.
