‘Shrek the Musical’ is a fun, colorful show that some find annoying but I have always enjoyed for its humor. Curtain Call Kids will present the musical in its entirety at the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre in Torrington this weekend. The Friday, Aug. 28th show is already sold old, but the two shows on Saturday, Aug. 29th at 2:00pm and 6:00pm have some tickets available.
The cast is made up of 62 young actors that range in age from 6 to 17 and are residents of Bantam, Middlebury, Morris, Oakville, Oxford, Southbury, Thomaston, Waterbury, Watertown, and Woodbury. Curtain Call Kids is a respected children’s community theater troupe that serves western Connecticut and offers its programs through Middlebury Parks and Recreation.

The chatty Donkey is played by the inimitable Kennedy Morris of Morris. This 7th grade student appears in her forty-fourth production and that is not a typo. Ms. Morris is an amazing singer who has already won vocal competitions at her young age, so her take on Donkey blows us away with “Don’t Let Me Go” and “Make a Move,” all while looking adorable in her superb furry gray costume.
