SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on stage. 
In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre–not a handsome prince–shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, 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. Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, WWOR-TV proclaims SHREK THE MUSICAL “far, far and away the funniest new musical on Broadway!” SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!

THE PEARL runs April 12-14

THE PEARL
Presented by Victoria Theatre Association as part of the ImPACt Series
April 12-14
Dayton

The Zoot Theatre Company take on Steinbeck’s epic tale of characters is perfectly caught in this sensitive one-act play in which a poor man finds “the pearl of the world” and is plunged into a crucible of experience from which he and his wife ultimately emerge with their love and a new spiritual freedom. A mask production that will surely engulf audience members of all ages.
