Additional Information

LET YOUR ‘FREAK FLAG FLY’ WITH
SARTELL MIDDLE SCHOOL’S MUSICAL PRODUCTION OF
SHREK THE MUSICAL JR.
SARTELL MIDDLE SCHOOL students present their production of Shrek The
Musical JR. February 23rd, 24th & 25th. This family-friendly musical comedy
follows the adventures of an ogre named Shrek who sets off on a quest to save
a princess from a dragon. However, it turns out that in order to ultimately
succeed, Shrek must battle an even bigger obstacle: learning how to believe in
himself and open his heart to others.
“Shrek’s unique story of discovery encourages each of us to examine our
prejudices, review what we believe to be our limitations and work to better
understand ourselves and others. The actors and crew in this production have
embarked on a similar journey, as students and teachers with many different
interests have learned more about themselves and each other while
collaborating towards the common goal of presenting this musical.
Shrek The Musical JR. follows an ogre named Shrek who has learned the hard
way that “people hate the things they cannot understand.” For many years he
has protected himself from the hurtful actions of those who are scared of him
by living as a recluse in a cozy cesspit. One day, his peaceful swamp is
disturbed by new tenants: fairytale misfits — including Pinocchio, the Ugly
Duckling, the Wicked Witch, Peter Pan, the Three Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf —
have been banished there by the villainous Lord Farquaad. In order to gain back
his land, Shrek makes a deal with Farquaad to rescue the feisty princess Fiona
from a tower guarded by a fierce dragon. Setting off with his faithful
companion, Donkey, Shrek begins the journey of a lifetime filled with
adventure, romance, and hilarity.

SARTELL MIDDLE SCHOOL will present Shrek The Musical JR. on February 23rd,
24th at 7pm and February 25th at 2pm at Sartell High School Auditorium.
