Joy is so excited to be choreographing a special premiere of a Boston institution. This iconic Boston Children’s book, MAKE WAY FOR DUCKILINGS has been transformed into a musical, and Joy is lucky to be a member of the team bringing it to life in the Boston community for the first time!

Youth auditions have been announced, and adult auditions will be coming down the pike, so stay tuned! Quack!

About the Show

Bostonians will be enchanted with the Mallard duck family as this classic tale leaps off the stage and soars into their hearts. Mr. and Mrs. Mallard are exhausted from their search for a starter home when they land in the Boston Public Garden as a potential home. Surprised by a few conditions in the Garden, the Mallards move on to continue their search until their baby ducklings are born. When the ducklings begin to explore the world around them, the challenges of parenthood in the busy Boston environment create a fun bit of family drama. A classic story for all ages, this world premiere musical celebrates family, Boston, children and the beings who make an unfamiliar place a home.
