Story Overview
(based on Wheelock Family Theatre’s Production 2015)
E.B. White’s classic children’s book, The Trumpet of the Swan, tells the story of Louis
(LOO-ee), a trumpeter swan, who is different from his brothers and sisters. All the other
cygnets (baby swans), make beeping and burbling sounds right away. But Louis is born
without a voice. In his quest to communicate, he shows us how great challenges can
lead to unexpected opportunities.
