FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Journey Theater Arts Group Presents Honk!
Vancouver, Washington.  February 6, 2013 In the London season featuring the appearance of THE LION KING,HONK! became a stand-out by winning the 2000 Olivier Award (the British equivalent of the Tony® Award) for Best New Musical.

Written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (dubbed “The brightest hopes for the future of the British musical” by The London Daily Telegraph), 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.

Docent Visits

Cast and crew members go to the schools in costume and share a little bit about our show and what to expect when they come to the theater for their fieldtrip.
We currently have visits scheduled on Wednesday February 27th.
Our docent committee would like to know what cast and crew members are available and interested in participating in these docent visits.
If you attend CAM, are homeschooled, or possibly some of our cast who attend Clark, our Docent committee would like to know if you would like to participate in these docent visits.

We currently have visits scheduled at these schools: Truman Elem, Walnut Grove Elem, Glenwood, Image Elem, and Roosevelt Elem, so if you attend any of those schools you could participate in the docent visit for your school if you are interested.

You can email  Lesli Collum at leslicollum@msn.com if you are interested in participating or if you have any questions about the docent visits.
