Shrek the Musical, Jr. could not have been possible

without the huge efforts made by multiple folks. 

Here are some leaders who have helped guide the process with their skill and patience.

Linda Read - Our costumes are amazing.  This is a huge cast, and we made changes.  Through it all, you manage to get everyone looking exactly right.  Thank you!

Greg Kula - The set is far beyond anything we could imagine.  We are so grateful to have your abilities, hours of time and dedication, and creativity creating the magical world of Shrek.

Sam Barlow High School Students - The connection you have made with our Orient kids is so positive and purposeful. It is rare to see such selflessness at your age. It comes with great leadership abilities to accompany your fine talents! Thank you!

Sam Barlow High School Administration & Custodial Staff - After growing from 20 to 60 student participants in just a few short years and effectively growing out of our space, we are SO thankful to have the use of the Barlow Auditorium for our shows. Thank you!

East Orient Custodial Staff - We know it is an extra burden to have additional activities in the building and we SO appreciate the extra support during the months of our show.

Jeff Schroeder - Thank you for the use of the Barlow stage, tools, set supplies, extra paint, etc. The coordination to work with Barlow resources and tech students has helped to really strengthen our new OME community. 

Mr. Milliken - You have supported this process from the beginning, not only as a leader, but as a "team" player. Your acting roles have been a fan favorite and we are so happy that this has had a positive impact with students. 

Parents & Community Members - Thank you for supporting our students in all the capacities you have. We are grateful for a community that supports the performing arts and works hard to continue creating opportunities for students. 

WRANGLERS/Lighting & Sound Assistants - These are middle and high school students that bring the most to the table in regards to "filling the gaps". They do whatever is needed, but mostly help with the daily running of rehearsals. They also help students with homework after school and maintain focus for younger actors during the process.
