Our Spring 2016 musical production is Honk, Jr., a musical adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s beloved classic, The Ugly Duckling.
Ugly is an odd duck who gets separated from his family when he is lured away by a Cat who plans to make him his dinner. After he escapes, he rescues a beautiful swan and falls in love. Unfortunately, Ugly’s problems don’t end when he finds love, because when you spend your life as an ugly duckling, you’re bound to have issues.
This delightful production features fantastic songs and delightful characters.
