Discover your inner performer and step into the spotlight in this interactive theatre experience! Through fun drama games, imagination, and activities, we'll learn iconic songs, scenes and dances from the adventure-packed tale of Shrek. 

Featuring loveable characters including Donkey, feisty Princess Fiona, and  the unlikely hero, Shrek, this musical includes energetic songs and dances that take you through the story of acceptance and friendship. 

Throughout our weeks together we will learn the basics of acting, including monologues, and hone our music skills through exercises in rhythm, pitch, and melody.

Everyone is invited to return on Wednesday, April 8 for a performance of what we've been working on for our families and friends. Details will be sent out as we get closer to the date.
