“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek.”
So begins the upcoming River HomeLink Theatre production of Shrek the Musical Jr., a tale of unlikely friendships and the path to self-acceptance. Under the direction of Sandy Sparks, this musical comes to life this December at Prairie High School (11311 NE 119th St., Vancouver, WA). Follow along as Shrek and Donkey set out on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona. Along the way, they meet a dragon, a gingerbread girl, Pinocchio, a not-so-wicked witch, the Three Pigs and a whole bunch more fairy tale creatures.
