This marks the 16th annual Aurora Art Educators show. Through this exhibit, art educators of Aurora Public Schools get together to celebrate their accomplishments through personal artworks. For the fourth year in a row, the educators will be creating and donating small artworks in conjunction with their largescale pieces. The theme for this year was garden gnomes. Participating teachers will be creating masterpieces out of these gnomes to be sold for $30. Grade levels will be creating Ginormagnomes that will be auctioned off. All proceeds raised from this portion of the show will be donated to A.J. Boik’s Memorial Scholarship at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.

Honk! JR. Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother’s protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be. Honk, JR. was adapted for young performers and, with a score by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins), Honk! JR. is a heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, Honk! JR. will treat audiences to equal amounts of laughter and tears.
