Out of the Pond
Director: Kolie Shaw
Playwright: Brynn Kelly
Devised by the cast and crew
In this imaginative world, the Ugly Duckling finds herself in a liminal dimension where she possesses the ability to dive into the pages of classic fairytales. This devised project follows several well-known stories including Tortoise & The Hare, Goldilocks, the Three Little Pigs, The Red Shoes, The Happy Prince, and more! But the traditional stories we know and love aren’t quite what they seem. Through whimsical twists and enchanting turns, this kid-friendly musical explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the transformative power of finding one’s place in the world.
Out of the Pond is a whimsical, heartwarming, and original devised fairytale musical created by the talented students of Northern Starz Center for the Performing Arts Conservatory Program.
