Honk! is an award-winning musical packed with wit and good family fun. In the story, parents Drake (Rich Hamann) and Ida (Patti Ringe) are surprised that their new brood contains an ugly chick (Alex Jasman) nothing like his siblings (Jordan Haerick, Tess Carichner, Tommy Hamann, and Everett Warila).  Ugly makes a strange honk sound instead of the expected quack! Ida loves her son despite his appearance and the ridiculing of the other farmyard fowl.  This ridiculing drives Ugly into the eager arms of the Tom Cat (Andy Farnsworth), who tries to eat him.  Ugly escapes by the skin of his teeth, but with night falling he becomes lost. Ida organizes a search from home and Ugly meets other interesting animal characters including Queenie (cat) and Lowbutt (chicken) played by Kathleen Syverud and Kelly Wade and Bullfrog played by Gilbert Warila.  He encounters various dangers as he tries to journey back to the farm and rejoin his mother.  His adventures include falling in love with the beautiful swan Penny (Adelaide Gregor) and continually having to evade the plans of Tom Cat who refuses to give up the thought of lunch. 

Others in the cast include Harper-Jane Adkins, Justin Czupinski, Susanna Davis, Grace Dillon, Christine Eccleston, Drew Eccleston, Benedict Gregor, John Paul Gregor, Maurita Gregor, Madeline Gregor, Sarah Hamann, John Harrell, Katie Holmes, Adair Jost, Giselle Jost, Marie Laurio, Cordelia Leon, Christine Ozminkowski, and Mary Ziegler.

Honk! is suitable for all ages and is a wonderful and magical theater experience for the whole family.
