DEPARTMENT OF THEATER ARTS PRESENTS

Audition Notice

Oct. 25, 2020

Dear Principal and Teachers:

Trinity High School Department of Theatre Arts is looking to invite female and male elementary/middle school students who would like to audition for our department’s spring production, Shrek the Musical. We are in search of a “Young Fiona, “Teen Fiona” and “Young Shrek.”

Make room for ogre-sized fun as the greatest fairy tale never told comes to life. Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, Shrek the Musical is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life, finds his swamp home invaded by a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters who have been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad. After striking a deal with Lord Farquaad, Shrek sets out on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey to rescue a feisty princess in order to get his swamp back. Throw in a cookie with an attitude, over a dozen other fairy-tale misfits, a dragon, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a true hero. Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning adventure that brings all the beloved characters you know to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than a “perfect happy ending.”
