Get ready for a swamp-tastic theatrical adventure with Shrek The Musical KIDS! In just "72 hours" of rehearsal, students in Grades 3–6 will bring this hilarious, heartwarming musical to life in a fast-paced, collaborative challenge. This 30-minute adaptation of the Broadway hit is specially designed for young performers, making it an exciting and accessible experience for all.

When a grumpy ogre named Shrek finds his quiet swamp overrun by banished fairytale creatures, he sets off on an unexpected journey to reclaim his home. Along the way, Shrek teams up with a talkative Donkey, rescues the feisty Princess Fiona, and discovers that true friendship - and true beauty - come from embracing who you are. Packed with catchy songs, larger-than-life characters, and energetic choreography, this feel-good musical celebrates individuality, kindness, and confidence.

Join us for four days of creativity, teamwork, and laughter as students dive into every aspect of the show—learning songs, choreography, and character while working together as an ensemble. The final performance of Shrek The Musical KIDS is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its humor, heart, and happily-ever-after.

This program runs Tuesday-Friday of April break from 8:30a-2:30p. The final performance will be at 2:30p on Friday in our large rehearsal room. 

All registered students are guaranteed a role in the production.
