Children Theatre Casting Call for "Honk" Musical
Ages 6–18 are invited to audition for "Honk" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: HONK! is a musical comedy version of the classic story – but much more fun, creative, and smart than any re-telling you’ve ever heard. HONK! focuses around the story of Ugly, a chick who just doesn’t look like his brothers and sisters. While Ugly’s loving mother Ida warms up to him and embraces him for his differences, the other farmyard fowl ridicule him, leaving him driven into the arms of the Cat, who hopes to enjoy Ugly as a lunchtime snack. As Ugly runs from the cat, he loses his home. As Ugly searches for his home, he encounters some incredibly fun characters – a pompous military goose, a domesticated hen and her feline companion, a cheery bullfrog, and a young swan – who all teach him different lessons which begin to help Ugly see who he is on the inside, and why what his outward appearance is doesn’t matter.
