‘Shrek the Musical JR.’ at Elk Co. theater camp
The Elk County Council on the Arts is ogre-the-moon to announce its Summer Theater Camp production of “Shrek the Musical JR.”
Get ready for a swamp load of family friendly fun, as the delightful musical comedy follows the adventures of Shrek, a lovable, yet prickly, ogre, and his sidekick Donkey, who set out on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona from certain doom. But along the way, Shrek discovers that the biggest challenge he faces isn’t a fire-breathing dragon or a dangerous quest, it’s learning to believe in himself and open his heart to others.
Filled with catchy songs, colorful characters and plenty of laughs, “Shrek JR.” celebrates self-acceptance, friendship and the magic of being different. With a cast of fairytale misfits and a story that’s equal parts romance and twisted fairy tale, audiences of all ages are sure to be enchanted by this “big, bright, beautiful world.”
“Shrek the Musical JR.” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
