The Ugly Duckling promo
The Ugly Duckling
Red Herring Puppets have created a delightful rhymed version of the classic folktale with original music and lively hand and rod puppets. An “ugly duckling” overcomes ridicule and loneliness. His inner strength and determination are encouraged by an old woman, a cat, and a hen who help discover that he is actually a swan. He reunites with his family and finds the place where he belongs.
Calendar, Compass and Clock
The Big Dipper
Red Herring Puppets has created a stellar production exploring the folklore and science related to the Big Dipper. This familiar star pattern is seen most of the year by more than half the world’s population and can be used to tell time, keep track of the seasons, and guide our way at night. The show features beautifully crafted marionettes and shadow puppets with tales from ancient Greece, China, the Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia and southern slaves seeking freedom in the north.
