Lucky Duck

All Serena wants is to compete in the Most Beautiful Songbird contest. But everyone keeps telling her that she is not quite what they are looking for– except for Wolf, a new friend in her life and the rest of her community’s brood. Will this unlikely partnership lead to a win for Serena? Will she pull out all the stops and come into her own as the fine feathered friend that she knows she is inside?

9 Cast Script/Vocal Books

A combination of the show’s full script and the full vocal book. All dialogue within each song is printed in the score to prevent flipping back and forth during rehearsals. All books are spiral-bound and double-sided.

2 Director’s Scripts

A single-sided, spiral-bound script designed with plenty of space for the director to take notes and add blocking during the rehearsal process.

1 Stage Manager’s Script

A single-sided, three-hole punched script that can be inserted into your three-ring binder.

2 Piano/Conductor Scores

A keyboard score that is a key part of the show’s actual orchestration. This score contains both vocal parts and a cue staff, which guides the conductor through the full orchestration by informing them when instruments enter the song, as well as providing specific part lines when necessary.
