The “Honk! Jr.” audition workshop for ages 8 to 18 will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 23, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with auditions on Dec. 7. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling, “Honk! Jr.” tells the story of an odd looking baby duck, Ugly, and his quest to find his mother.

Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” is opening Jan. 17. Christie published the world's best-selling mystery novel in 1939. “And Then There Were None” tells the story of ten people who were lured onto Indian Island by a man named U. N. Owen. Once all ten people were in the house on the island, the story picks up when someone is poisoned. Will they discover who it is or will everybody die before they can figure it out?

“And Then There Were None” plays Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. on Jan. 17-18 and Jan. 24-25, and on Sundays at 2 p.m. on Jan. 19 and 26. Performances will be held in the DFT Blackbox Theater and tickets are $25.
