We all know the lovably unlovable ogre who stole our hearts--along with his merry band of fairytale misfits. Now see them as you've never seen them before, with an accessible version of the story as set in a children's classroom! Follow the unlikely hero, Shrek, as he embarks on a life-changing journey, accompanied by his loyal (and wisecracking) companion, Donkey, and a feisty, no-nonsense Princess Fiona. Together, they confront a short-tempered villain, Lord Farquaad, a sassy Gingerbread Man, and over a dozen quirky fairy tale misfits to save the day—and discover the true meaning of friendship and love. This production will be student-performed as the capstone to the 2025 Blackfriars Theatre Summer Intensive program, a professional summer training program for rising juniors in high school through recently-graduated college seniors.
7:30 p.m. or 2:00 p.m.--please check schedule for curtain time on your date.
