The Bellwood Antis’ music department will perform Shrek the musical on March 27, 28, and 29. The BluePrint will be highlighting cast and crew members in the days leading up to the raising of the curtains.
The play is based on the hit movie Shrek, following the tale of the ogre Shrek, who goes on a life-changing journey alongside a wise-cracking donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue.
The play is directed by Molly Burns. Mr. Logue is the music director, while Mr. Sachse is the orchestra director.
