Down to the poultry farm

Our second attendance at a musical for the weekend was Kernersville Little Theatre's presentation of the delightful and touching "HONK!" Sometimes, I fear, it is not a good thing to know too much about what goes on behind the scenes at a show like this. I went in, though, trying to forget all that and be as objective as possible. From that vantage point, despite a few technical glitches here and there (frankly, par for the course in community theatre and I have encountered much worse!), I thought it was quite charming and well presented. The story is a good one, the music is cute and touching in the right places, and the performers were good for their roles. Perhaps above it all, KLT for once achieved a level of diversity in a show's cast that it has often talked about but sometimes found hard to accomplish. Kudos for that, and for an entertaining evening at the theater!
