Based on the ever-popular 1941 children's book, Make Way For Ducklings is centered around a pair of ducks raising their young in the bustling city of Boston. This musical adaptation teaches theatregoers about decision-making, polite disagreements, and owning up to mistakes. Delightful for both adults and children, this wholesome musical has vital lessons for everyone.
This is a community-driven live theatre production, and everyone will receive equal consideration. (All roles are unpaid.)
The Grand belongs to everyone in the community. The Board of Directors and Staff continue to foster inclusion in every facet of the organization including offering opportunities for participation to artists, patrons, volunteers, staff, and board members.
