"A THEATRE EXPERIENCE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME"
"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, 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.
Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

The reviews keep rolling in and the people LOVE Shrek!!!
5 STARS - I took my 5 year old daughter and 3.5 year old son to the show. They both loved it. The show was so colorful and actors were great.
5 STARS - This was the best young actor production we've seen in San Diego (and no, we don't know anyone in the cast, but we like to take our grand kids to these shows). The costumes and props were particularly amazing.
5 STARS - My 11 year old son Tristan loved it. I was so glad we went. Thank you.
