The Elk County Council on the Arts is ogre-the-moon to announce their Summer Theater Camp production of Shrek the Musical JR! Get ready for a swamp load of family friendly fun! This delightful musical comedy follows the adventures of Shrek, a lovable, yet prickly, ogre, along with 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. MTI is a premier theatrical licensing agency, providing performance rights to schools, as well as amateur and professional theaters worldwide. Their extensive catalog features the largest selection of acclaimed musicals from Broadway and beyond.

Theater Camp will run from Monday, June 23, and conclude Friday, June 27, with a 7:00pm performance at the Saint Marys Area High School Carpin Auditorium. Doors open at 6:30pm. There is no admission to the show, but donations are appreciated. Donations helps support the arts in Elk County through youth programming and scholarships for the Summer Theater Camp.
