Performers Needed for "The Sissy Duckling" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Directors are currently in need of performers for "The Sissy Duckling" Play. More details are below. About the play: Elmer, The Sissy Duckling, is a happy, zany fellow that walks to the beat of his own drum. Sometimes he struggles to fit in though. When the other ducklings play baseball, he’d prefer to bake a cake. Or maybe he’d rather put on a puppet show instead of building a fort. He loves to do these things, but it can get a bit lonely when you’re often playing alone. It can be even lonelier if someone calls you a sissy… But Elmer is tough and caring and smart, and he’s about to teach his family, and his entire flock, that being different is A-Okay!
