It’s a big, bright, beautiful world with Greendale Community Theatre (GCT) this summer! Join GCT as they take a trip with fairy-tale characters to the swamp with the family-friendly hit, Shrek the Musical.

Based on the 2001 Dreamworks movie, Shrek the Musical, takes audiences on a journey with Shrek (Ben Tajnai) to save the Duloc from the evil Lord Farquaad (Mitch Weindorf). After fairy-tale characters invade his swamp, Shrek agrees to help them try and regain their kingdom in order to maintain peace and quiet in his home. Along with Donkey (Shawn Holmes), the group is told that they have to save Princess Fiona (Rae Elizabeth Pare) before they can return to the kingdom. This family-friendly musical is sure to keep every member of the family entertained with its fun songs and its recognizable fairy-tale characters.

Shrek the Musical takes place in Greendale High School’s Reiman Family Arts Wing, 6801 Southway, Greendale. Performance dates are July 19, 20, 21, 22 & 26, 27, 28, 29. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7 p.m. and Sunday performances begin at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $15 for General Admission. Student / Senior tickets are $12. Tickets are available online at greendaletheatre.org or by calling the Box Office at (414) 817-7600. Tickets are also available at the door at GCT’s Box Office which opens at 6:00 p.m. on performance days.

Director Brian Bzdawka has had Shrek in his mind as a great possibility for a GCT production for quite a while due to its family friendly nature. “Auditions confirmed that this show was a great choice for us as it attracted so many talented actors from throughout the Milwaukee area,” said Bzdawka.

This production will be full of excitement through its use of prosthetics and large-scale props. “We want to be sure to do Shrek “right” and are excited about the prosthetics we will be using,” said Bzdawka. “The dragon we will be using is also incredible and will add even more to our production.”

Bzdawka is thrilled about the cast, which will feature a great mix of familiar faces and brand-new faces to the GCT. “The voices we have are amazing and will make for a great show,” he said. “We are always so lucky to have so much incredible talent want to be a part of our shows.”

Known for its edgy show choices and next-to-professional production value and talent, GCT has captivated audiences since 2003 with productions like Avenue Q, The Little Mermaid, [title of show], RENT and Les Misérables.
