Weber Middle School Drama Club presents: "Shrek, the Musical"

It will be “a big bright beautiful world” at Weber Middle School when they present Shrek, the Musical on March 22nd-24th! Based on the award winning 2001 DreamWorks movie and with a catchy and upbeat score composed by Port Washington native Jeanine Tesori, Shrek is a story that will appeal to all ages. Shrek, the Musical tells the story of a lonely Ogre (7th grader Gavin Miller) who goes on a quest to save his land. Along the way he befriends a talking Donkey (8th grader (Mikey Capobianco) who helps him to save the feisty Princess Fiona (8th graders Sydney Flisser [Thurs./Sat.] & Hannah Loeb [Fri./Sun.]) Through this journey and from encounters with a gang of fed up fairy tale characters, a soulful dragon, and the spiteful Lord Farquaad, Shrek finds true love and learns that looks can be deceiving; everyone has something that makes them special!
