FELTON, November 2025 – Felton will be flocking to San Lorenzo Valley Middle School’s production of HONK! JR., a contemporary and comic re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling. Based on the award-winning musical Honk! by George Stiles (composer) and Anthony Drewe (books and lyrics), HONK! JR is a witty and heartwarming show celebrating what makes each of us special.
Playbills will meet duck bills when HONK! JR. hatches at San Lorenzo Valley Middle School on November 14, 15, 20, 21 at 7pm & November 15, 16, 22 at 2pm at the San Lorenzo Valley Performing Arts Center at 7105 HWY 9, Felton, CA 95018. Tickets are $15 General and $10 Student/Senior/Staff, though a handful of cracked corn will probably suffice. There is no dress code although duck-billed shoes are encouraged.

HONK! JR. follows “Ugly,” who hatches looking quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice, and despite his loving mother's protective flapping, Ugly’s odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. When Ugly is separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat, he must find his way home. Along his harrowing yet hilarious journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.
