The cast size is flexible- up to 24 actors - anyone interested is welcome to come out! We're looking for all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. Children and teens ages 6 years and up with strong acting and singing skills are needed. Auditioners please prepare a song of your choice that best shows your vocal ability. You may sing a ca****la or bring sheet music for our accompanist.
There will be a dance call as part of the audition process. We will be casting adults for Penny’s Mom and Dad. The Bullfrog role is already cast.
Based on the beloved fable The Ugly Duckling, and adapted for young performers, with a score by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins), Honk! JR. is a heart warming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score.
