Directors' Comments
Shrek the Musical is real life portrayed on the stage. In a world in which we are all unique, those differences sometimes cause us to feel insecure and hide ourselves from the world. Shrek the Musical shows us that kindness, forgiveness, and vulnerability enrich us far more than emphasizing differences between ogres--or people. Our unity comes from recognizing authenticity, not perfection.
We welcome Carol Wilson to the production staff. We thank her for her work in costuming our cast this year, and all of her work behind the scenes.
Countless hours go into creating a production, and we are fortunate to have the time, talent, and commitment of resources that encourages our students to thrive. Our students excel because of their dedication and because of the work of so many behind the scenes. We appreciate the commitment of the WCHS Board of Education, administration, staff, and students. It is truly a combined effort to present a work of this scale and detail. We dedicate our performances to our audiences, with the hope that they will both appreciate the work and time that go into producing the show, and recognize the commitment that is present in every aspect of the performance.
Thank you for coming, and enjoy the show!
