Auditions will take place Sunday-Tuesday, February 11-13 from 4:30 pm - 9 pm at the Theatre for principal roles and ensembles. Details on casting and auditions can be found at www.mayoarts.org/education/musical.

MPAC is looking for talented young and diverse performers between 9-23. They should be excellent comedic actors who can sing and dance.

The show will be directed by Cathy Roy. Musical Director/Conductor is Charles Santoro. The show will be staged Friday, June 1 - Sunday, June 3.

Based on the Oscar-winning Dreamworks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

Previously, MPAC has produced Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (2013), Hairspray (2014), Les Miserables (2015), Mary Poppins (2016)and West Side Story (2017),
