Shrek: The Musical” Coming to Montgomery April 4 - 6
March 28, 2014
The cast and crew of Sourland Hills Actors Guild have been working hard to bring Shrek: The Musical to the stage on April 4, 5 & 6. Kids will be on the edge of their seats with excitement as Shrek, their unlikely hero, and his loyal steed, Donkey come to life. Set off on a quest with us to rescue the beautiful (if slightly temperamental) Princess Fiona! Add in the undersized Lord Farquaad, a gang of fairytale misfits and a giant dragon and you have a hilarious family musical adventure!
The cast of 64 talented adults, teens and children have been rehearsing under the direction of Bob Meola; with Kelly McDermott as choreographer and Tom Rodgers as music director and orchestra conductor.
Founded in 2000, Sourland Hills Actors Guild is a volunteer-run, non-profit community theater group, not affiliated with Montgomery schools. Over the years they have produced 25 large-scale shows, and currently rent the state-of-the-art theater in Montgomery High School for their productions.
This year we are pleased to have received a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and administered by the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission through the State/County Partnership Local Arts Program, confirming our mission to bring an affordable, accessible and intergenerational community theater experience to our area.
Shrek: The Musical is based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and the book by William Steig, with music by Jeanine Tesori, and book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire.
