HONK! Against Hate And Dare To Be Different

Fun for the whole family, Metropolitan Performing Arts (MPA) presents Honk Jr, a delightful adaptation of the beloved fable and award-winning musical that is a heartwarming celebration of what makes us special. Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The 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 an 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.
