Discover the Magic of Being Different with HONK! 

Step into a world of feathers, fun, and unforgettable melodies with HONK!—the award-winning musical that’s been enchanting audiences of all ages! Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tale of “The Ugly Duckling,” HONK! follows the journey of a unique little duckling who finds the courage to embrace what makes them special. With vibrant songs, characters, and a story that celebrates kindness, acceptance, and self-discovery, HONK! is perfect for families, schools, and anyone who believes in the beauty of being yourself.
​
We had four fun-filled performances of the show featuring our cast and our amazing orchestra.  We hope you were able to join us!   And don't miss our Spring production, Mary Poppins!

Isle of the Lost Dance Crew
Grades 3-5
Thursdays 6-6:45 PM 
Nov. 20, Dec. 4, 11, 18
Get ready to dance the night away with Disney's bad-to-the-bone villains like Cruella De Vil, Ursula, and The Lost Children of Descendants. In four weeks, students will explore different dance styles like musical theater, jazz, and soft shoe-tap.  No experience needed, wear clothes to move in, jazz shoes or sneakers (tap shoes not required, no crocs please), and a "horribly" confident attitude!

"Puttin' on the Ritz" Tap Intensive (2 classes)
Grades 6-8
Thursdays 7- 8 PM , and 8:05-9:05pm
Nov. 20, Dec. 4, 11, 18
Join us for a crash course in tap dance for beginners and those who wish to "brush up" on their skills!  This is your chance to dive into musical theater vibes and perform with confidence—no experience needed. We will be going over basic skills, combos, and across-the-floor sequences to songs by tap stars like Bill Robinson & Fred Astaire. Whether you’re dreaming of Broadway or just want to have fun making noise, this is your moment to shine. Tap shoes are required. Please wear clothes to move in and bring an open mind for learning.

We had a blast this Summer with Mean Girls Jr!  The show was full of fun, great music and terrific performances from these kids!  We can't wait to see them back on the stage for HONK! this fall.

The Lasting Impact of Theatre

ECT makes impacts in the lives of children, builds confidence, friendships and skills that impact their lives!   Read more about the impact of ECT in Elmhurst Magazine's profile for Broadway's (and Elmhurst's) own Anthony Michael Lopez!
