Playbill Christian Family Theater - Online Shows PLAYBILL CHRISTIAN FAMILY THEATER - ONLINE SHOWS CHRISTIAN FAMILY THEATER PRESENTS NOV 20 - DEC 18, 2020 Our Pandemic Response Dear CFT Family, Thank you so much for your support of Christian Family Theater. This year has been a very challenging year for our world. On March 12 CFT made the call to halt rehearsals for High School Musical Jr. which was slated to open in April. It was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made as an organization but we knew that no matter how hard, it was the right one. As we began to realize that organizations like ours we going to have to wait much longer than anticipated before we could resume live productions our staff began looking into ways to keep performing arts alive for our young actors. Over the summer we, took online classes, learned new software platforms, purchased new equipment and services as well as putting new infrastructure in place. All these efforts would allow us to continue offering performance arts to our young actors by producing online musicals using the zoom platform. As the year continued we began to realize that organizations like ours which depend on revenue from event ticket sales were going to be closed much longer than anticipated. But each month bills for our overhead expenses continue to arrive. Even as our executive staff has chosen not to be paid for the hours they working, we continue to pay out more than we can generate each month. As we are coming to the end of 2020 we hope that you would consider a tax deductible gift to CFT to help us continue to pay the necessary overhead to keep our organization open. Any donation would be appreciated. We hope that some of you might consider a small $5 -$20 monthly donation. If we could have 25 families willing to support us with a $20 monthly donation we could cover mearly all our overhead expenses. Stop by the CFT website and click on the donate button to give today. www.cftchattanooga.com/donate.html Christian Family Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible. 2 CHRISTIAN FAMILY THEATER PRESENTS Music by TIMOTHY ALLEN MCDONALD JONATHAN K. WALLER Lyrics by TIMOTHY ALLEN MCDONALD JONATHAN K.

That’s right, all ogres are destined to live lonely, miserable lives being chased by torch-wielding mobs who want to kill them. So the young Shrek set off, and eventually found a patch of swampland far away from the world that despised him. Many years pass, and the little ogre grows into a very big ogre, who has learned to love the solitude and privacy of his wonderfully stinky swamp (Big Bright Beautiful World.) Unfortunately, Shrek’s quiet little life is turned upside down when a pack of distraught Fairy Tale Creatures are dumped on his precious land. Pinocchio and his ragtag crew of pigs, witches and bears, lament their sorry fate, and explain that they’ve been banished from the Kingdom of Duloc by the evil Lord Farquaad for being freakishly different from everyone else (Story Of My Life.) Left with no choice, the grumpy ogre sets off left to right Jacob Ming-Trent to give that egotistical zealot a piece of his mind, and to Adam Riegler hopefully get his swamp back, exactly as it was.

Based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and the book by William Steig. Chilliwack, BC – Shrek The Musical, based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand… and his name is Shrek. Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, Shrek The Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone! Shrek The Musical opened at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle in August 2008 and premiered on Broadway in December. Directed by Jason Moore (Avenue Q) and choreographed by Josh Prince, the production featured Brian D’Arcy James (Next To Normal, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Sutton Foster (Little Women, Anything Goes), Christopher Sieber (Spamalot, Thoroughly Modern Millie), John Tartaglia (Avenue Q, Beauty and the Beast) and Daniel Breaker (Passing Strange, Cymbeline).
