The production, directed by Warren Arts founding board member Sherri Denning, will run this November at the Warren Arts stage. Denning, a long-time supporter of the arts in Warren County, described Shrek as a story that celebrates individuality and self-worth.
“Shrek is really the fairytale for any average person,” Denning explained. “It does not matter if you fit the mold of what is beautiful or what is handsome. It truly is a story about how what’s inside is what matters to people.”
Roles are available for teens and adults, with two parts open to younger performers aged 9–12. The role of Shrek has already been cast, but all other roles remain open, and Warren Arts encourages performers of all experience levels to audition — including those stepping on stage for the very first time.
