The Not So Ugly Duckling

About The Not So Ugly Duckling

Here we go again! It’s time for another wacky adventure with Act About at The Dockyard Social!!

Join our party down at the pond as we meet our cute, fluffy, yellow ducklings….. but hang on, something’s not quite right, something’s a little strange, something doesn’t add up. Our ‘ugly’ duckling just doesn’t fit in with the rest of his family, he looks different, he sounds different, he acts different and his sister sure wont let him forget about it.

Follow our delightfully different duckling on a quest to find out who he really is, and where he really belongs…. of course meeting a herd of zany animal friends along the way…. Including our ravey rabbits who just want to get the party started!!!
A tale of positivity, celebrating difference and belonging, told in a energised and wacky way, with a large helping of fun and PARTY!

Perfect for little ones who enjoy playing games and being part of the show.
