Peoria Players Theatre proudly presents Shrek The Musical directed by Travis Olson and Mary Keltner! Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, Shrek The Musical brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on 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 villain with a short temper, 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! 

Guaranteed to be a technical extravaganza, co-director Mary Keltner says: “This production will be a feast for all of your senses. You will be entertained by our dynamic cast, energetic choreography, intricate costumes, and a twenty-foot-long dragon! Don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy this  fast-paced family musical that is sure to delight!” Performances include May 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10 at 7:30 pm, and May 3, 4, 10 and 11 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for patrons 18 and younger, with a special $15 adult rate on Wednesday, May 7. Some performances offer limited seating.
