An eclectic group of kids vie for the ultimate spelling trophy and along the way we learn their hopes and the humorous stories of their lives.

QCP_Shrek logoSHREK THE MUSICAL
Presented by Queen City Productions
June 19-28
Crestview Hills

Swamp cast | Duloc cast

“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek…” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude, and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand…and his name is Shrek.
