Young South Seaville Actress Performs in 'Shrek The Musical'

Greta Rebecca is going green for the holidays in Shrek the Musical - playing now through January 5 at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia.

Based on the DreamWorks film, Shrek is the story of a reclusive ogre who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking donkey and a feisty princess. Complete with new songs and an outrageous cast of fairytale characters, this hilarious musical is entertainment for children and adults alike.

Greta Rebecca is a 3rd grade student at Bishop McHugh Regional Catholic School and lives in South Seaville. Shrek the Musical marks Greta Rebecca’s Walnut debut, playing a member of the children’s ensemble. Her past favorite roles include Little Cosette in Les Misérables and as Nancy in A Christmas Story.

Greta Rebecca also performs with Hands Up Silent Theatre, a unique drama and dance company that incorporates American Sign Language to introduce theatre to people who are deaf/hard of hearing and to teach hearing children and adults to learn ASL through music and theatre. Greta Rebecca was also inspired to organize a talent show at her school to raise money for Cape Regional Hospital’s pediatric department after hearing about the struggles of children dealing with cancer. In November 2018, with the support of her classmates, school, parents, and the local community, Bishop’s Got Talent was born and successfully raised $4500.

See the talented Greta Rebecca and the cast of Shrek the Musical let their freak flags fly - proving that everyone deserves a happily ever after!
