The Ugly Guppy 


Genius sometimes wears a fin.


[pearl string]



You must remember this: a fish ain't just a fish.
A fish is no dumb guy.
'Cuz every fishie goes to school;
they're smart small fry.

In this bubbly retelling of The Ugly Duckling, an outcast goldfish with a thirst for experience and a love of mathematics takes a journey of self-discovery. She plunges into a sea of hidden talents and learns that beauty is more than fin deep.

This show will tread, er swim, where no puppetry has gone before: featuring live, trained goldfish actors with a fishy parody of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in Casablanca. Here's lookin' at you, squid!
