Shrek The Musical www.trollwood.org

Come out to Trollwood and enjoy some of our very talented youth take 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, along with 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!
