A beloved Inspiring Arts original returns this summer!

One of Inspiring Arts' most beloved and frequently requested productions, this original musical is inspired by the Biblical account of Joseph and is set against the rich backdrop of Victorian Ireland and London.

Coming this fall

An Inspiring Arts youth mainstage production!
We are thrilled to highlight our younger actors this fall! This award-winning musical is based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale of The Ugly Duckling. The musical follows Ugly, a duckling who embarks on a journey of self-discovery, meeting a wide range of characters along the way. First produced in London's West End and later performed on Broadway, Honk! has become a favorite of theatre companies around the world for its memorable score, humor, and universal themes of identity, acceptance, and belonging.
