SHREK The Musical Performed by DIY Teen Theatre
Experience the magic all OGRE again, as Shrek and Donkey set
out to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona from a fiery Dragon—and win back
their swamp from the fearsome Lord Farquaad in the process. Little do they know
that Fiona has a secret—princess by day…. but at night? DIY Teen Theatre—now in
its fifth successful season—brings Pixar’s funniest and most unlikely romance
to life on stage. Joining Shrek and Fiona, a colorful cast of characters step
straight out of all your favorite fairy tales, including Pinnochio, Little Red
Riding Hood, Peter Pan, The Ugly Duckling, the Three Little Pigs, and many
more. The fifth summer musical directed by Helen Knudsen, SHREK features 53
young actors from Elmhurst and neighboring communities, as well as a 11 member
orchestra.
