The Lightwire Theater returns to the Oshman Family JCC with its famous rendition of "The Ugly Duckling."
Of the five eggs in Mother Duck's nest, the largest one is the last to hatch. Bigger and paler than the others, this last hatchling is treated as an outsider by Mother Duck and her ducklings.
He may be the best swimmer of the brood, but this alone is not enough to ensure his acceptance. Knowing only rejection, the Ugly Duckling goes out into the wild alone. Reflecting upon his plight under the glow of a remote willow tree, he sees a wily cat creeping in the direction of Mother Duck's nest. The Ugly Duckling follows and watches as one lagging duckling is captured and taken back to the cat's lair.
In true heroic fashion, the Ugly Duckling succeeds in vanquishing the cat and rescuing the captured duckling. Celebrated by Mother Duck and her ducklings for his uniqueness, all realize that he may have been an ugly duckling, but he has grown into a beautiful and powerful swan.
