Featuring a multi-generational cast, HONK! is sure to appeal to audience members of all ages. This musical tells the story of Ugly (Kelly Leissler), whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat (Tony DeNiro), Ugly must find his way home to his mother, played by Kim Kollar. Along his rollicking and harrowing journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.
