SHREK THE MUSICAL – The fabulous cast of Shrek The Musical, along with the pit band, coordinators, and director Wendy Lovett (furthest left) all posed for a photo just prior to their final packed performance on Sunday afternoon at Killarney School. Shrek ran four times from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. The talented group brought the beloved characters from the Oscar-winning Shrek film to life on stage, in comedic fashion. Shrek The Musical is the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess, plus a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy-tale misfits. The characters learn to let their freak flags fly and find love in unlikely places.
MAKEUP – Young Shrek, Ranon Wiesner, gets his green makeup done before putting on his costume. A whole lot happens behind the scenes to make the actors look as good as they do.
