SHREK: THE MUSICAL Sweeps onto the EPAC Stage

Ephrata Performing Arts Center will perform the fun-loving fable of SHREK: THE MUSICAL at EPAC's Sharadin Bigler Theatre. The production opens on December 3, 2015, and runs through December 19, 2015. Based on the 2001 DreamWorks hit, Shrek: The Musical has charmed its way into the hearts of children and adults alike. Adapted from William Steig's 1990 book Shrek! this fairytale-with-a-twist features an exciting original score to enchant even the most surly of princes and princesses (and ogres, for that matter).

When the ogre Shrek finds his home overrun by exiled fairytale creatures, he sets out to set things straight with the fickle Lord Farquaad. But to reclaim his privacy, Shrek must first rescue the Princess Fiona, who has a rather large secret of her own. Determined to reclaim the solitude of his swamp, the disgruntled giant embarks on a journey and crosses paths with characters that give the Brothers Grimm a run for their money.

Led by Artistic Director Edward R. Fernandez, this fractured fairytale will cast a spell on any fan of the original DreamWorks flick. With song and dance from your favorite fictional characters, Shrek will turn even the most vexed of viewers into a believer.

Shrek: The Musical will run from December 3, 2015, through December 19, 2015, at EPAC's Sharadin Bigler Theatre. Tickets can be purchased at ephrataperformingartscenter.com or by calling 717-733-7966 x 1.

Wednesday and Thursday shows are at 7:30pm; Friday and Saturday night shows are at 8pm; Saturday matinees are at 2pm.

Ticket prices are $25 - $32 for evening shows and $22 for the matinees.
