TexARTS Academy Presents SHREK THE MUSICAL, JR

Join TexARTS Youth Musical Theatre Academy for their Summer production of Shrek The Musical, Jr. Performances are scheduled for June 22 - 24 at the Kam & James Morris Theatre at TexARTS (2300 Lohman's Spur, Suite 160 Austin, Texas 78734).

Shrek the Musical, Jr. is an exciting two-week production-based summer camp that culminates to a fully produced performance LIVE on the TexARTS stage! Students will learn the scenes, songs and choreography of the Broadway show! With Robert Carrasco as director, Cassie Eckerman as choreographer and Matthew Bowers making his TexARTS debut as musical director, these kids will be well prepared for their upcoming performances!

Once upon a time, in a far-away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task - if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona's love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.
