Abington Actor Shakes a Tail Feather in "Honk! Jr."

Performances of the colorful and “quacky” musical, HONK! JR. will begin at Walnut Street Theatre later this month, featuring young talent from the Abington region.

HONK! JR. is based on the classic fairytale, The Ugly Duckling, and tells the story of Ugly, one odd looking baby duck that doesn't quite fit in. With the help of a whole flock of unique characters, Ugly sets off on a wild adventure where he soon learns to accept and love what makes him different.

Abington actor Jack Sullivan plays Ugly’s father, Drake. Last season he played the Beast/Prince in Beauty and the Beast Jr.

HONK! JR. will mark the beginning of the WST for Kids series with a fun hour-long musical that you and your family will love. Performances run from September 23 to October 8. For tickets and more information, call 215-574-3550 or visit walnutstreettheatre.org.

The Walnut Street Theatre for Kids Series is celebrated for its commitment to encouraging parents (and grandparents) to read to their kids. Families can read together, and then discover a whole new level of imagination when they see the shows live onstage. The Walnut takes pride in bringing families together and beginning a creative conversation through reading and the arts.
