One month after FAME closed Grant's production of HONK! Jr. went up! It was a busy winter for me. I haven't worked on the middle school show since Olivia's 8th grade production of Seussical Jr. but one of the teachers needed a break and Grant asked me to consider helping. It was a great experience-the whole family was involved. I co-directed the show with a teacher at the middle school and held rehearsals one night a week and on Saturday mornings. Dad designed the set and facilitated the building with the help from many parents. Mom and I worked on costumes--trying to come up with creative ways to make kids look like farm animals without actually wearing beaks and feathers! :)

Honk is a retelling of the Ugly Duckling. Ugly, the young (*spoiler alert!!)
swan thinks he is a duck and feels left out on the farm with his duckling siblings. He gets lost on his way home and ends up on a journey meeting all kinds of interesting friends. Grant played Greylag, the militant goose, who along with his wife Dot and gaggle of goslings, promise to help Ugly find his mother.
