In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre—not a handsome prince—shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.
George Strus (right) of Wayne will perform the role of Shrek. Wayne residents will perform additional lead roles: Kelcie LaSalle (Fiona), George Massood (Donkey), and Robert Scharf (Lord Farquaad).
