The BHS drama productions are professional-quality shows that have always enjoyed community support and a great audience turnout, school officials said.

In the film, an embittered ogre named Shrek finds his home in the swamp overrun by fairy tale creatures banished by the obsessive rule Lord Farquaad. With the help of Donkey, Shrek makes a pact with Farquaad to rescue Princess Fiona in exchange for regaining control of his swamp, according to information about the movie.
