Playing November 2025

at the GPHS Performing Arts Center​​​

 

In the Fall we will be bringing to the stage: “Honk Jr.”​

Grants Pass High School's Theatre Department presents their Fall Musical: “HONK! Jr” playing at the GPHS Performing Arts Center, Nov 14-23, 2025. We are excited to also welcome ten students from South Middle School into our cast as well!

“HONK! Jr” is a delightful, heartwarming musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's “The Ugly Duckling." Ugly, an odd-looking duckling, faces ridicule from her siblings and others, and goes on an adventure of self-discovery. Along the way, she meets a cast of unique characters, outwits a wily cat, and finds that being different is not a bad thing, ultimately learning to love herself and discover her true identity as a graceful swan. The musical focuses on themes of diversity, rejection, self-acceptance, bravery, and kindness. It is a colorful and entertaining show on the shorter side, perfect for audiences of all ages!

​

The show will be directed and choreographed by Erica Bury, music-directed by Katie Jarvis Shomler, and produced by Tianna Eddy, supported by Julia Cuppy, Director of Theatre at GPHS.

​
