Shrek: The Musical, JR
November 1-November 10
UAA Mainstage Theatre
3700 Alumni Dr
Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical JR., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical. It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.
Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

Second Stage
Introducing ATY’s new second stage series! These productions will consist of shows with shorter run times, smaller casts, and/or feature student-generated ideas. These productions are designed to be rehearsed and produced within 4-5 weeks. Our first production is scheduled for December 2024, and will involve students collaborating with a guest playwright and local director to devise an original show. The season will conclude with the second production, "The Lightning Thief", an entirely student-led and produced show in collaboration with the Splish Splash Production Team.
