The Academy of The Company Theatre Presents Honk Jr.

The Academy of The Company Theatre (ACT) presents the internationally acclaimed youth musical Honk Jr. on Saturday, November 7 at 4 pm and 7 pm; and Sunday, November 8 at 1 pm and 4 pm at The Company Theatre Centre for the Performing Arts, 30 Accord Park Drive, Norwell. Honk Jr.’s book and lyrics are by Anthony Drewe, with music by George Stiles.

Honk Jr., a musical adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen story The Ugly Duckling, has delivered a message of tolerance around the world in over 8000 productions. This heart-warming celebration of being different is full of sparkling wit! A duck named Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. Other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother’s protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be!

ACT was founded in 1987 by Zoe Bradford, Michael Joseph and Jordie Saucerman, with a mission to discover the creative spirit in each child in an enjoyable and challenging atmosphere and to build self-confidence through the experience of the arts.
