We at SMT are very excited about our next production, HONK! premiering November 13 and running through November 29.

Based on Hans Christian Andersen's poignant tale, "The Ugly Duckling," HONK! tells the story of an odd looking baby duck, Ugly, and his quest to find his mother after he is seduced away by a wily Cat who wants to eat Ugly for dinner. After escaping, Ugly encounters a beautiful swan, Penny, tangled in a fishing line. After he frees her, the two fall in love, but she must return to her flock and fly south for the winter. Left all alone, Ugly’s mother finds him frozen in snow. Her warm tears manage to thaw him out and he comes back to life – as a handsome swan! Soon, Ugly is reunited with Penny and the two swans decide to live the rest of their days in the same pond as Ugly’s loyal mother.

While obviously appropriate for young theatre-goers, adults of all ages will enjoy the hilarious dialogue and beautiful songs sung by the various barnyard creatures, together with a great many “fowl” puns.
