[April 04, 2023] 

Adults and youth entering third grade and up are invited to audition for the LCT summer production of “Honk!” Auditions will be held Friday April 21st from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, April 22nd from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. John United Church of Christ located at 204 7th St. in Lincoln.

Participants should be prepared to sing “Silent Night”, read from the script, and learn a short dance routine. Actors can sign up to audition at lincolncommunitytheatre.org/auditions.

“I am thrilled for LCT to produce a family friendly show that allows actors of all ages to share their talent,” said David Helm, director of Honk!

“Honk!” is a musical based on one of the world's favorite fairy tales, Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling. Ugly is born as a Duckling but it soon becomes clear that he is no ordinary Duck. Mocked on the farmyard, pursued by the ever-hungry Cat, Ugly finds himself lost on a nearby marsh in the middle of a duck-shoot and embarks on an odyssey through the countryside, meeting a battery of colorful characters and finding himself, and love, along the way. Complete with music, choreography, and lots of laughs, it’s fun for the whole family.

“LCT is excited to have David Helm directing our all-ages musical this summer. He always brings big energy and lots of laughs to our productions. The actors in this show are going to have a lot of fun,” explained LCT President Sheralyn Bolton. “Shows like this are a great chance to give theater a try. Some families even choose to participate together; there are plenty of opportunities to get involved both on the stage and behind the scenes.”

Honk! performances will run July 20-23 at the Lincoln Community High School auditorium.

Founded in 1972, Lincoln Community Theatre brings live theater to Lincoln, and the surrounding community through performances, youth workshops and local events. Everyone, regardless of experience, is invited to participate both on stage and behind the scenes. For more information about how to get involved, visit lincolncommunitytheatre.org.
