Acting Up Presents “Honk!”

May 23, 2012 By FFCStaff

Living in Mason, we are so fortunate to have opportunities for our kids to participate in live musical theatre.  One young performers community theater group that has opened its arms for many local children is the non-profit Acting Up.  On June 8-10, they are putting on another family-friendly and fun musical show called “Honk!.  It is the tale of the ugly duckling.

Their press info sums it up:

“HONK! is the story of Ugly, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat, Ugly must find his way home. Along his rollicking and harrowing journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, HONK! will treat you to equal amounts of laughter and tears, with its charm, humor and message of tolerance.”

I’ve previously written about Acting Up when they performed the Wizard of Oz, but this show is taking on even more meaning for me and my family since my youngest is so excited to be a part of the cast.  She’s going to be in the ensemble and gets to do some singing and dancing as a little chick. I hope you’ll get a chance to come out to support all the local kids that make these performances so special. Tickets are only $10/person and the proceeds help non-profit Acting Up continue to bring live theatre to our community and our kids.  Thanks also to ArtsWave for providing a project grant for the show.

Honk Giveaway: Acting Up has graciously provided Family Friendly Cincinnati with a family four pack of tickets for one of their upcoming  “Honk!” shows.   To enter the giveaway you must be 18 years or older and live in the Greater Cincinnati area.  You will have 48 hours to confirm your prize or we’ll have to pick a new winner.  Please enter the “Honk!” giveaway by Wed., May 30 at Noon.
