Peterborough, NH (June 25, 2012) – The Peterborough Players presents its first children's show of the season, A Duck Called Ugly, adapted by Catherine Gray from the book The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen.

A Duck Called Ugly is a tale of finding true beauty, a sense of belonging, and discovering that what's on the inside is what counts. This beloved story of the “ugly duckling” that grows into a swan is performed by the Players' Second Company of interns and apprentices, who are available to sign autographs and take photos with the children in the lobby or on the patio after each performance. Second Company shows are priced to encourage family attendance, and families may use the Players' grounds to picnic before or after the show.
