Announcing Spring Cherry Street Players

Picture
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.

Available Roles:
Ugly*
Ida*
Drake*
The Cat*
The ducklings: Beaky, Fluff, Billy, & Downy
Maureen the Moorhen
Greylag the Goose
Dot the Goose
The Bullfrog
The Geese: Barnacles, Snowy, Pink Foot
The Swans: Penny, Father, Mother, Bewick
Blizzard Chorus
Grace
Turkey
Henrietta
Jay Bird/Maggie Pie
The Duckyard Chorus
Froglets
*These roles may be double-cast
 
Since its inception in 1999, the Cherry Street Players has introduced over 350 young people ages 8-14 to the artistic and technical fundamentals of theater. Students  participate in classroom exercises and instruction that culminate in the rehearsal and performance of a fully staged production each semester. All participants get a chance to showcase what they’ve learned and experience the excitement of performing live for the community.

The spring semester usually runs January to April and the fall semester runs September to December. Contact us to be added to the mailing list and get notified of new education programs as they are announced.

If you would like to learn more or join the Cherry Street Players, please call 605-394-2250 or email merlyn@bhct.org.
