Red Curtain Theatre to Present Shrek

Conway Institute of Music

Conway, Arkansas – Red Curtain Theatre will present the hilarious stage spectacle, Shrek The Musical, August 3 rd through the 12th at Staples Auditorium on the Hendrix College campus. The musical is based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks animation smash hit film. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

This Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure follows Shrek, an embittered ogre, and his loyal wisecracking sidekick, Donkey as they attempt to rescue the beautiful yet headstrong Princess Fiona from a fire breathing, love-sick dragon. During this quest they tangle with a small yet power-hungry Lord Farquaad and a collection of fairyland misfits. This show is filled with over the top humor, dancing, and singing that blends perfectly to create a musical extravaganza.

The show is directed by Kristen Sherman, with choreography by Olivia Stephens and music direction by Kent Britton. Kristen Sherman, the Director, states, “The caliber of talent in this cast is truly remarkable. Nearly sixty children, teens, and adults from all over central Arkansas and as far as Corinth, MS, have poured their hearts and souls into this production and we can’t wait to share this incredible, family-friendly show with our community!”

Red Curtain Theatre is also excited to partner with Arkansas Children’s Hospital and with Conway High School’s Certain Little Free Pantry in a continued effort to give back to their community. Cast members from Shrek visited patients at Arkansas Children’s Hospital on July 25, where they performed four songs from the show, had a meet and greet with patients and their families, and then helped lead an activity with the children. In addition, $2.00 from every ticket sale for the Saturday, August 4th performance will be donated to ACH.
