The live stage show, Shrek the Musical, which is based on the beloved Dreamworks animated film, will be presented on May 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. and May 5 and 6 at 2:30 p.m. at the Huntington High School Auditorium at 1 Highlander Way.
The hit musical based on “Shrek” ran on Broadway and has toured the world. It follows the story of an Ogre who finds himself, against his will and with the help of a talking donkey, getting involved in saving Princess Fiona (who’s hiding a secret), facing a dragon and trying to save his storybook friends from an ambitious king.
The show is a co-production with First Stage Theatre Company and the Developmental Therapy Center in Huntington, and the cast includes children with special needs as performers. The Center is dedicated to providing quality occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language therapy and special instruction services to those with special needs in the Tri-State area, regardless of the patient’s disability or ability to pay for the services.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children age 12 and under and senior citizens. They can be ordered at http://developmentaltherapycenter.com/events/shrek-the-musical/ or purchased at the door.
The show’s directing team includes Director Zach Davis, Music Director Laura Campbell, Choreographers Melissa Marcum, Costume Designer Tish Maynard and producers Debbie Jackson and Leslie Comer-Porter.
“Shrek the Musical” is the third and final show in the 28th season for Huntington’s children’s theatre.
The mission of First Stage Theatre Company is to provide opportunities for children to develop social and communication skills by participating in the performing arts and to promote fine arts education through the presentation of theatrical productions to children and families in our community.
