Nasty will be nice and Millville will be ogre-the-moon when Lakeside Middle
School students present their production of Shrek The Musical JR. on March 1st and
2nd. The 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 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.
