HONK Jr.

January 29, 2027 — February 7, 2027

Civic Auditorium

The Kalamazoo Civic Theatre’s Penguin Project production of Honk! JR will delight audiences of all ages with its charming mix of wit, humor, and memorable songs.

Based on the classic fable “The Ugly Duckling” this heartwarming musical follows Ugly, a duckling who looks very different from his siblings, as he embarks on an adventure of self-discovery. Despite the teasing of other farm animals—and the constant threat of a hungry Cat—Ugly discovers that being different is something to embrace. Along the way, he meets a flock of unique and unforgettable characters, learning that true beauty comes from within.

Music by GEORGE STILES
