Announcing Spring Cherry Street Players
The good news is that our Cherry Street open house was a huge success! The bad news is we reached our capacity well before 6pm. We hope to be able to accommodate everyone who wishes to participate and are brainstorming ways to make that work. If you are still interested in this semester's Cherry Street, please submit the registration form below to be added to the wait list. We will be in touch with waitlisted families ASAP with additional information as soon as we have a plan forward. To be added to the waitlist, your registration must be submitted no later than Friday, January 13th. Thank you for your interest in Cherry Street!

About the Show!
Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be.
