SHREK
(DOUG NORTON)
FIONA
(KARIN DORSEY)
We make a perfect pair.
Radiant and rude.
So in love and much too gassy.
“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre
named Shrek…” And thus begins the tale
of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a
life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who
resists her rescue.

Capital Improvement Fund Drive:
Our members, patrons and community supporters have been very
generous helping to support the Capital Improvement Fund Drive. We now have over $33,300 saved toward our goal.
The immediate plans require $50,000 to replace the boiler. Future plans are designed to update the sound system at about
$20,000 and the lighting system at about $20,000. The lift that we use on the stage to build the set and position lighting
had major repairs. The batteries needed to be replaced and the hydraulic lines were leaking and needed to be replaced at a
cost of over $1,500.00. We also have installed security cameras throughout the building. Thanks for your support.
