audition notice - HONK! - Musical Theatre of Anthem - January 14



Casting Call for MTA’s Honk!, a delightful adaptation of one of the most beloved fables of all time. This heart-warming celebration of being different is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit and memorable score.

Auditions for this production for ages 11-adult (no-cut for ages 11-19) will be held January 14, with callbacks on January 15, 2017 in Anthem.

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 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. With its bouncing score and universal story, the touching musical with plenty of heart will captivate audiences. The award-winning production staff includes Director Laura O’Meara, Vocal Director Cris Wo, Choreographer Cydney Trent, and Stage Manager Jessica Kishbaugh.  Rehearsals begin January 19, with performances March 2-12.
